Subject: [alt-beam] diode
>Hello List,
>
>Sometime I saw a description of a solarpowered robot, with a microprocessor
>(PIC is guess), on the web. The solarcell charged a huge capacitor via a
>diode (so that the capacitor wouldn't discharge itself through the
>colarcell when there isn't enough light anymore). The same diode I found in
>a solar-battery-charged (which I disassembled to check how they did it) and
>had a threshold-voltage of something like 0.2 V (that's why it's do ideal
>for this application). The problem is: I forgot the type-number of the
>diode .... 1N58.. or so ... I really don't remember.
>Maybe anybody knows the URL of the page I've seen, or knows which diode I
>mean ... please tell.
