11849 Wed, 15 Mar 2000 14:33:46 +1100 (EST) [alt-beam] Re: H-Bridge beam@sgiblab.sgi.com Ben Hitchcock Take two NPN transistors, and connect their emitters to ground.

Take two PNP transistors, and tie their emitters to +Vcc.

Connect the collector of NPN1 to the collector of PNP1, and attach the
positive terminal of your motor here.

Connect the collector of NPN2 to the collector of PNP2,
and attach the negative terminal of the motor to that point also.

Now attach 1k resistors to all the four base terminals.

Connect NPN1 and PNP1 via their base resistors. Where the two resistors
join, call this bias point 1.

Connect NPN2 and PNP2 via their base resistors. Where the two resistors
join, call this bias point 2.

Now treat bias point 1 and bias point 2 as a motor. Both high or both low
and nothing happens. one high and 2 low, it spins one way, but reverses
if you swap polarities.

Note that this should ONLY be driven by logic gates, not analog circuitry
because if the bias points are halfway between the supply rails then you
will let the smoke out.

11850 Tue, 14 Mar 2000 23:27:35 EST [alt-beam] power smart head beam@corp.sgi.com Bumper314@aol.com Hello,
I am looking for the original power smart head circuit that wilf posted.
Anyone have it?

11851 Tue, 14 Mar 2000 20:29:49 -0800 (PST) [alt-beam] Photodiodes BEAM List Daniel Grace I feel horrible mailing the list so much, but from
what can photodiodes be salvaged from? I dispise mail
order, and was really hoping I could get these from a
local store (checked, and no such luck) or from some
device (which is what I need your help for). I'd much
rather drive through all the garage sales and salvage
a lot of components from a small $2 thing than mail
order it and pay more than it's worth in shipping and
handling.

Of cource, it would be better if you could teach me
how to read all of these, but there seems to be about
20 different conventions in use, so it may be quicker
to just say what each is.

~Daniel

PS. I guess this'll teach me to buy things in
"Assorted" packs.

nice huh!
Hemmings Motor News still shows some available around the U.S.
still holding out for a VW Karmann Ghia Convertable though. Had my
Sutebaker stolen my first year of Grad school.
