Hey Everyone--
At school, We received a grant to build an autonomous sensor robot. Much to my dismay, they decided to use a basic stamp in a kit. But, we had extra money left over, so we bought another basic stamp, and since this was of my initiative, they are letting me use this one as I please. In this digital electronics class, we have remote control car kits, so what I plan to do is create a second robot, using bump switches, the RC Car chassis, and this basic stamp.
Here's the thing: How can I interface the basic stamp with the 12 volt motors that come with the car? Do I have to use a relay so I don't burn out the chip?
Thanks!
