Ok my "Flyball timer" project is progressing well v0 of the console built and have interfaced with the lights and timing gates without a problem.
The timing gates currently work from a 240v to 12v transformer(rated output is 500mA) which when not at home is powered from a 12v battery to 240v inverter which seems a waste.
My questions is straight forward am I correcting in thinking can power the gates directly from the 12v battery providing I install a 24 ohms resistor....possibly I will need a 12v regulator??
Thanks in advance.
