Subject: [alt-beam] Re: FRED tutorial


On the subject of the 1381 SE, I'm playing with it with a 3 vt battery
pack using the J version. I can get it to trigger OK, but it never
resets. The docs I could find state something about the resistance in the
motor eventually reseting the transisters.

My question is: Is this a function of the fact that a solar cell can't
maintain the current in the motor or must the motors be under load or
something? I've stalled the motor but still no reset. If I momentarily
short the motor leads, all is well and the cycle resets.

Thanks, Ken
