Subject: [alt-beam] photovore...again


ok then,
i finally bothered to go and buy a breadboard to test my photovore
circuit. But when i was inserting them into the board i found what
the problem was, at least i think. One of the capacitators leads had
melted and broke. But when i assembled the whole thing in the
breadboard, the motors just barely vibrate, like they're trying to
move but they can't quite muscle out the power, they are pager
motors by the way. once again, any suggestions? I used bc type
transistors by the way. The rest of the circuit works fine, when u
cover a photodiode the other motor fires, or should i say vibrates.
