No wonder nerdshit never takes off.
you should know you that you're rarely able to source more than 30mA from a micro controller, nigger faggot.
Have you heard of a relay you mong?
Use a relay you mong
Learn to read cock jockey, I did not say I'm drawing power from it
based mong posters
Meant to be a reply to OP sorry
>>oh wait you can't connect a motor to the arduino because that fries it
What is a relay?
its a basic switch that allows you to control say, a 5v 10amp pump, with a very small amount of current for the switch from the mcu
Which part of "buy shit that together costs 4x as much as the arduino" did you think doesn't include a relay, mongs?
How do you expect to handle a device that draws a lot of current without these devices? People didn't invent them for fun they exist because they need to.
