Ok About the microcore. What parts do I need to make a 4 legged (2 motor) walker? And is this || the symbol for a capasitor? Sorr I'm new to electronics (except programming :) ) I really think this whole BEAM thing is really cool (Cause it's cheap!). Thank you Mark! I saw some thing about this a long time ago and I was amazed, but I don't remember it all that well.
