[Emc-users] Power Tapping

2022-08-21 Thread John Dammeyer
Since it's summer and the group is kind of quiet I thought I'd post a link to a short video I made last month. I bought a new tool cabinet for under my lathe that ended up being about 1" too tall and I'd run out of room on one adjustable foot to raise the lathe higher. So I made a wooden

The output is open collector NPN ... so if you need PNP (why?) then just use a PNP transistor like so: [image: image.png] But why do you think you need PNP output? The device has an open collector NPN output, just hook a resistor to whatever voltage you need (if your system is using 24V for
