Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Interseting, additional idea..........................
Actually I have been playing with And gates lately. I was Boarding up a
circuit I saw on Chiu's site for a five motor walker. I didn't have any
4016's on hand...but I had a boxfull of And gates. So I tried them out. I
see no difference off-hand....But I need to play with it a little more. I
really need to hook it up to some legs. Unloaded motors dont cut it. Maybe
I should dust off the ol' osciloscope while I'm at it. I'll post any
findings when I get around to it.
I would be really interested in PLD's if it's possible to get them up and
running in that fasion. But life isn't that easy. Is it?
CYA,
Dane
