Greeting Dave H, I have enjoyed the Photovore page. I have made 2 photovores now, one like the picture and one mounted on a penney using coiled paperclips for motor mounts. I used u shaped brass to make a frame for the solar cell, but not sure about that idea. So far neither bug works. My soldering was bad so I bought new equipment and went over everything totally redoing it. But still no go. I might try the mouse idea mounting everything on a board . Could I have got everything too hot.
Also is there an instructions for building the walkers, I'm still trying to understand how to read schematics. What connects to where, I get confused.
I'm also building a spider at work on my lunch breaks using gears and 2 stepper motors. Mounted on an aluminum plate. The motors have 6 wires to them, I think they are from Epson printers. You know anything about them.
Appreciate any help you can give
