Re: Proximity Sensor issue, never trips? < solved, used NPN>
KB58, no offense taken. However, did you notice that the In4148 is reversed biased, which is the correct orientation for its use as a shunt to protect an Acorn Input.

Re: Centroid Acorn and TB6600 Motor Drivers <answered>

Re: AC Tech SCF230
