Subject: [alt-beam] solar engines
if theres one thing in beam that i can't screw up in BEAM it's making
a solar engines, i make true junk ones, 1 plain old LED 2 transistors
and a resistor, very tiny freeformed. But the problem is with motors
with the danged capacitator in them. I'm making some sun chimes and
they work great except the motor just oscillates, is there a simple
way of overcoming this other than by using the suneater circuit?
By the way, with the photovore im getting voltage on the middle and
right pins but still nothing, so i suppose its the solarengine, does
it matter that i used BC type transitors instead of the 2n3906?
(flipped around of course).
regards,
David Perry
