RP6 ROBOT SYSTEM - 4. RP6 CONTROL M256 WIFI Library
CAUTION:
The individual I/O pins are designed for a maximum current of
20mA. In total an 8 bit port should not be loaded with more than
100mA. The total load for all I/O ports must not exceed 400mA. If
you want to switch bigger loads you have to do this via external
transistors. All higher power electrical devices such as LED search-
lights and motors definitely need an external driver circuit. They can
NOT be connected directly to the I/O ports (a power driver and posi-
tion control is already built-in model servo motors).
For more information please refer to the data sheet of the MEGA-
2560 that is on the RP6 Web page / CD-ROM.
Prior to handling the module, please discharge yourself at a
suitable grounded object (observe ESD safety precautions!).
Please avoid short-circuits of I/O pins against the power
rails or against each other. Reversed polarity can also dam-
age the module.
