Subject: [alt-beam] yet more questions...



okay then first parts substitution...
what can i replace with the 2N7000 mosfet and the 1N4001 diode?

Can anyone see anything wrong with the following 5core setup
The first 3 run the motors, in reverse if it bumps into anything
(how can i do this to the two steering neurons?)
The last two control the direction of the steering motor, the one
with more resistance on the bias from a CDS cell lasts longer and
turns more towards that CDS cell.

What sort of cap should this walker use to power itself (four motors)
with around 4 solar cells (22x33mm), will the 1farad one from
solarbotics be adequete?

Next, how do you set up a reverser? Remember its for a beam snake...

This snake is going to kick but, so far it will
-Dual microcore, runs at night thanks to D1 SE
-Its also a cricket...
-Soon to have a reverser and be phototropic

sorry to hit you with so much at once,

David Perry
