I'll try to put it on-line along with the updates to my BEAM non-page, right
along
with my entry for Chiu's new contest, har har har.

Lets see what this thing actaully does, unless it already exists. Its too
obvious not to
have already been done before I think.
I'm just not sure i want to gamble on this circuit in my contest entry yet, so I
may have
to make a testbed first...but I want my contest bot done before I go play with
this much
more.....
What do do, what to do?
If the phototransistor SE is really a totally new engine, its going to need a lot
of work
to understand it. I've already seen coupled chaotic oscillation behaviors, I
think, but
I'm screwing around with the base bias circuit. Its very interesting!
