Subject: [alt-beam] D1


I'm looking for a solarengine that works better then the D1. The D1 is so
twitchy and needs alot of tweeking so I'm looking for something that will
just charge up all day and kick off for the night..I have found that there is
always plenty of power left in the cap when the D1 turns off (after about 10
minutes even with a .47F cap) Does anyone have a solution

5V = 17.4mA no load. I've used the 74HC245 as a driver. I was going to
make a '139 Z-bridge, but never got around to it. Baby Scratchy uses a 9VDC
supply.
