Hi,
I am currently working through the "Build Up" to a project. What I am wanting to do is to build a remote controller car/truck which is controllable over wireless networking (Complete with web cam). The Wireless control bit I have sorted out, the problem I am having is I want to use 24Volt motors as they offer a good torque/cost ratio. I will be needing to have a power supply on the vehicle to run the motherboard. This Brings me to my question:
If I have two computer power supplies on the "Vehicle" is it possible to wire the 12Volt rails in each one to get 24 Volts on the motor. I have an idea that if I were to put a diode on each line would this deliver 24 Volts to the motor without "cooking/hurting" the power supplies.
Thanks
