Hi Thomas,
Do you mean mounting the motor to the PCB? Or to the tripod? I assume that
you mean mounting the motor to the PCB. I had a hole at each front and back
corner of the PCB. I soldered two braces on each side running from back to
front. I then made a ring out of jumbo clips that the motor fit into snugly.
The ring was then soldered to these two braces. Lastly, I soldered a small
piece of the paper clip from the ring and down to the two holes in the
mounting plate of the BG Micro gear motor. This configuration is extremely
strong and has no cryo glue anywhere. If you mean the tripod, I placed a
Dupro collar on the table and placed three straightened paper clips around it
in a symmetrical pattern with the ends butted up to the collar. I tape these
down with 2 inch masking tape so they won't move as I solder. I then soldered
them all together. Then I just bent the legs into a pleasing shape. Look at
the PIC on my site again and I think you will see how I constructed the
frame. If you need more info, let me know. Good luck.

See ya,
Jim

what was it called.... you take a stick a bunch of copper thread and put it
together.
arrgh i dont remember what it is called!!!!
anyway you connect it to a solarengine and when it comes near something with
electricity in it.
the motor schould start spinning..... right?
im not an expert so im most supposedly wrong but i had to make sure.

I forget what they look like
