Subject: [alt-beam] scoutwalker2 details


I know some people have been privileged to build one of these kits at
workshops and stuff, could someone tell my how it's wired (I understand
bicores and all that), but more like, how does it hook up to the MUX and how
are the sensors inputed and so on, please! I'm building a five motor, and I'm
sure any info would help!
also, does one 74AC240 chip have enough power to drive one of those tower
servos?
thanks,
stick

over thirty?

Dave

Tally up one more...I've read it too... and I also, at one time, was heavily into the old Radio
Shows. I remember hearing "Surface Tension," but it was so long ago I can't really remember the
story very well.

Make that three! I worked my way through the library picking out all the
science fiction and that was one of the more memorable short stories that
I read. My favourite was 'surface tension', not sure who it's by. If
you've read the story you will remember it. It's lucky for me that
Arthur 's last name was clarke (guess which end of the library I started
at!)
