i saw some design using the lm386 opamp (is it?) on Jesse Meers`
page - can't remember the link now.

could this be that my microcore didn`t work even after 10
breadboardings with 4,5 V battery (using 74HCT14). It just lit one
LED and thats everything. Could the floating pins be the problem?
I put together 4 caps, resistors and 4 schmitt invertors(and LEDS).
Is this supposed to work or not? I read something about a PNC.
Knowing little about it, could someone give me the right link?
thanks,

> Well, if i try 9V, will it kill the 3906/4s in the hbridge?
hmm, it depends - these are made for 60V and 0,2A roughly said.
So the voltage doesn't matter. Worse is the heating through high
currents- P=U*I - I think it's somewhere under 0.5W max. (i'm not
sure about this)
so you have 9V then the current should be 55mA max

voltage regulator to provide 5V/100ma to the Bicore on
my light-seeking head.

My page at:

http://www.geocities.com/leemon1/Bots/Bender

shows how the connector was put together. It takes up
*very* little space and does the job... the only
drawback is 100ma max current output...
