Has anyone tried one of these things in a saber?
Hmm, reading a bit about it, I don't understand what the purpose of them is...Originally Posted by yell0w_lantern
Perhaps you could explain a bit more about how they function and why it would be useful?
This is the most I've found about them:
It sounds like you need more stuff to really utilize them for their intended purpose but I can't tell for sure.What is a Current Sensing Resistor?
Current sensing products are the newest and fastest growing resistive products in the
industry today. As with most passive products, the majority of new designs are
surface mount. These resistors are used to monitor the current in a circuit
and translate the amount of current in that circuit into a voltage that can
be easily measured and monitored.
How do They Work?
As stated by Ohm’s Law, there is a voltage drop across any
resistance when current is flowing. A current sensing resistor is
designed for low resistance so as to minimize power consumption. As
a result, the calibrated resistance senses the current flowing through it in
the form of a voltage drop, which is detected and monitored by the control circuitry. In summary, current
sensing resistors translate current into a voltage that is monitored by the controlled circuitry.
looks to me by the explaination that they require additional circuts to work.. it seems as if they are more to "control consumption" by rampind down or ramping up there output... anyone seen this thing? what size are we talking about?
