Subject: [alt-beam] Re: solaroller throttle???
Ben and All,
The best use of Kyle's version of the FRED SE is if you have one of
these motors that seems to want to really go but just keeps going tick,
tick, tick, with every flash of the FLED. It seems to have no other
effect, on charging, run time, etc. The change has no positive, or
negitive, effect on the better motors, like the pager motors. The real
negitive is if you want to reverse the motor. For some reason it doesn't
work with a bipolar Cap.
Regards,
Dave
