content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable
Hey all,
I just thought of something...I had proposed using a head controlled pot to=
drive a +Phototropic robot body a couple of weeks ago. Inside of a R/C se=
rvo is a gear train, positioning pot, circuitry, and a motor. The driver c=
ircuit could be removed and a BiCORE (or PSH) circuit put in it's place and=
the pot leads going out to the robot's body circuitry. The whole thing co=
uld be housed in the box for the servo! The "eyes" are the only thing that=
needs to move. Why mess with the weight of the entire head. It dosen't h=
ave to go all the way around because it's mounted to a mobile body. I have=
something like servos at home (gleaned from an old "Teddy Ruxpin") and I'l=
l give it a shot tonight, if I can find my 74HC240. I left it right over t=
here...
Wondering Aimlessly,
Richard
