SubjectRe: [LCtalk] Is this a viable set up

Amanda / Dirk -

Obviously, you'd need to design some sort of interfacing with your equipment, be it motors, pumps, whatever (the current provided by the 0/10V outputs being most probably (I mean certainly) insufficient to drive anything directly) but it requires only basic skills, cheap components. You might be able to flip a relay directly, or you'd need some sort of optocoupler design...

Depending on how many of those outputs you need, the LanBox LCX already has 8 digital outputs built in! (the 37 pin connector on the back) I have used that to drive solenoids, etc. (as Dirk mentioned, with some additional circuitry). The LCX can drive a small reed relay directly, and then that can switch something larger if needed.


Just ideas... maybe that was already mentioned and I missed it, but thought I'd throw it out there.
