Subject: [alt-beam] Re: MPJA Cheap pager motor


I've bought those micro pager motors out of MPJA, and have found that that is
maximum load, it more accurately draws about 45 mA. they work great on
photovores, tiny too.

tiny. So they do work very well.



9743 Thu, 03 Feb 2000 13:02:54 -0800 [alt-beam] Commerical robot design help? alt-beam@eGroups.com "Ken Hill" I have a neat idea for a 2 motor walker that would combine the features
of the beam and battery op versions that I've seen. The method of
motivation would use a left and right motor to operate 3 legs per side.

I'm more mech than tech but have found most of the circuits online that
would be needed.

I'd like to not have to deal with patients, copyrights, etc. for the
circuit, but considering the many ways one can design a circuit, it
seems that someone out there could hack something together for me to
avoid them.

What I need is: left/right bump w/reverse and turn - then resume,
light seeking (and/or identity detect) for feeder locate, motion
detection with audio response and pause, and the circuit needs to
monitor battery voltage so it knows when to "go feed".

I want to have a "quick charge" (like RC cars have) recharging station
that it can find then go to sleep till it's charged up and then wake
up, reverse and go back to business.

I'm wondering if a battery op bot can use the same cap charge/fire
system as the solar bots use to conserve power via a timing circuit?
With solar cells as charging helpers, I'm hoping to get the best of
both worlds in a constant power-on type design.

If you want in on the project, please email me direct. I'm open to
possible payment terms for the right design (license, out-front,
percentage, whatever)

Thanks for the read:
