Hey everyone,
I just got my first electronics catalogue from dick smi=
th electronics, (our local electronics store, also stocks the cybug and hig=
her function add-ons) and I cannot find the 1381's or the 3906's in it, the=
3904's are there as well as a heap of other stuff but as I am new to this =
stuff, are there other names these components are known as? =
Also, I have sofar pulled apart 1 old computer, 1 old video player, about 2=
0 old pagers (16 great motors) and a bunch of other old electronics that ha=
d been collecting dust under the house (I knew there was a reason I didn't =
chuck it all out). anyway, I have a bunch of IC's that are marked with 74**=
**** something, something. I was wondering which ones of these are handy f=
or BEAM?
=
Also, I pulled apart a mouse that was stuffed, what do the led's in them de=
tect, and emit? is it IR? =
On another note, I am building my first photopopper in the case of 1 of the=
pagers as a tribute to the source of these great motors. A calculator so=
lar panel will fit perfectly where the LCD screen was. so the only visible =
parts will be the motor shafts and the holes where the eyes get the light. =
What sort of Voltage and Current can I expect from a calculator solar cell=
? I've read that a 1381 SE needs about 3v, is there a SE design that uses =
less?
Thanks and =
