Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Watch gears


Well, watcha gotta do is use the motor with the watch. It's a stepper
motor, so it requires some fancy circuitry. Check out

to see an example of a photopper using watches. I'm sure you could
tailor the schematic to your needs - his bot kinda moves in an odd way
:) because the watches only turn in one direction. Very clever design,
however!

Good luck,
Kyle
