Evening all,
I put together a little BiCORE 'bot this evening that my daughter named Wig=
glebot. It's nothing new, but it's kinda neat. I used three pager motors =
(two left over from Smiley and a third in the rear)in a tripod configuratio=
n. The Right and Left motors are wired to only go forward while the rear t=
urns toward light (+phototropic head). The left motor fires as the rear mo=
tor fires ccw, turning the 'bot clockwise, then the right motor fires as th=
e rear motor fires cw, turning the 'bot counterclockwise. The circuit is a=
regular 74hct240 BiCORE with two extra motors. I'm using three 3V watch b=
atteries for power. I'll get pix up as soon as I get time. I'll spend som=
e time observing it's behavior as time permits, but i need about three or f=
our hours in a day to get to it soon! ;)
