Hello all, =
I'm baaaack! You can find the pix of 8/2Brutus here: www.geocities.com/fr=
ankendaddy/82Brutus.html
I was originally going to call it Brute, but I thought the other was a bit =
more clever. I thought that I had to add more things to the circuit when I=
took it to work today. I put it on my desk and all it would do is circle.=
I used a 60W bulb, 8" away and it fires every 23 seconds or so. Before t=
aking it apart to add a pot for tuning, My officemate wanted to take it out=
side to see how it worked in the sunlight. To my surprise and delight, it =
turned right around and faced the sun! When I add the feelers, the plan is=
to bypass the photocells to give the motor on the affected side a bit more=
of a shot. We'll see if it works tomorrow...
Hey, I just may learn how to do this thing after all!
