My apologies if this subject has been covered prior.
Has anyone used a Lynx Express to control animated reindeer motors? Here are the specs; (similar to that of the deer motor, might be a little off... close as I could find)
1) Rated Voltage: AC 110V
2) Rated Frequency:50/60 Hz
3) Rated Power Consumption:3.5 ± 0.5 Watts
4) Current Consumption:30 ± 5 mA
5) Withstand Voltage:1500 VAC / 1Min
6) Insulation Resistance:Over 100 MΩ at 500 VDC
7) Insulation Class E
I must admit, I did try to run a very small AC fan on an LE with success. No heat off the triacs or heat sink. No issues with fan. NOT saying you should do this, as I did it as a bench test only!
I'm just curious if the Triac's can/should handle a very low amp draw like this. The load type is different than a bulb, but still want to know IF it could work, and would it harm the LE's?
The application idea is a traditional animated prop with several deer motors in place of servo's. Example, might have a santa with a waving arm on one channel, head turning on another, and even a third for eyes and or mouth. Seeing as it would be seeking that 'warm' old school animation effect from years past, not looking for precision of modern servo driven props...
Thoughts? Warnings? Stop here, do not pass go?
