Mine is actually connected to a relay, so it doesn't take that much voltage current. Also, if you must increase the current, put the electrodes (or whatever the disconnected wires are) closer together, as well as increasing the amount of salt. maybe, if you are using another resistor in the same branch of the circuit and if you can get the resistance across the saline water to be consistent between runs, maybe calculate that into your circuit, and not add as much extra resistance. (i.e. if the specs ask for a 560 ohm resistor, and the water has a resistance of 500 ohms, only use a 60 ohm resistor. <--- This is assuming series. I don't know how you would use parallel. Also, these values are just something I pulled out of thin air, so you should do the actual testing before subtracting 500 ohms from your circuit.)mpnobivucyxtz wrote:How are you all amplifying the current needed for the circuit to do anything functional? When I add water to my concentration of salt, it transmits nowhere near enough to power any of my other tasks. I looked into transistors and op-amps but using them looks so complicated
EDIT: First sentence initially said voltage, instead of current.
