Hi everyone. I'm a beginner at BEAM, and I've just finished my
first
solarengine (Type 1 with a FLED trigger). It has a few
problems, tho. I only
have one motor that it works with (it came
from a cassete player).
With the good motor, the cap powers up to
about 2.4 volts, then spins the motor
till it gets to about 0.6-0.8
volts, then resets. With any other motor, it works
for one cycle,
then 'sticks' at about 0.6 volts, while the motor just hums.
Can
anyone tell me what's wrong?


Thanks in advance,

Eben Olson


P.S. I've heard some motors have small caps built into them which can
cause
problems. Could this be the problem?

One used to work the cassete deck of a VCR... The other used to move
something
Inside of a CDROM drive. Here's a "pic">http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Way/1396/MOTORS.gif">pic if
that's any help.
