I have been doing a bit of research on the Unicore circuit and more complex Nv networks. A large part of the work is in understanding the technology and the...
Hi Jeffrey Welcome to the group. www.Solarbotics.net has a huge amount of info. www.Solarbotics.com great kits and parts. http://www.solarbug.com/solar.html...
Just added a new page to my robosapien site showing animations of two different possible leg linkages. http://boardroom.solarbotics.net/rosap/page3.html Bill ...
Hi Cliff, It was no problem to me, as Wilf was "on the ball" and got to it before I could. Thanks again for correcting my "faulty" logic. I can not wait to try...
No problem Cliff. It was a relatively painless reminder to everyone to have an up-to-date virus checker installed on their PCs. Anyway I enjoyed reading your...
... The Maxim 8212 is at the heart of the PM3 Solar Engine (my personal favorite). Adi recently noted that the MAX6375-MAX6380 can be used as a replacement for...
I've downloaded expressPCB for a bit of playing around, but I'm a little confused. I can't find a 74ac240-style chip in the components list. The closest I've...
Hi Adi, Great list of 1381 replacements! You may want to add supply current and if thru the hole or surface mount packages are availible. This would help in...
Does it matter the type of chip? As long as it has the correct number of pins it should be OK. Are you modeling the layout only, or the circuit ? John S. ... ...
This data is, in fact, already in the HTML but not yet displayed. Soon my friend.. Also, I also intend to have chips with supply current around 1uA, so they'll...

Hi Wolf, You make it sound easy. Implicit in your question of terminology is the proposal for a structure of beam systems to take beam to the next level. ...
I'm trying to lay out the circuit, really. I suppose I could just use any 20 pin chip, but express PCB will test the circuit (virtually) and I figured I'd be...

Hi, I have uploaded a few custom parts for Express Schematic. They are in the files section at Y!G. You can use the 74LS240 just re-lable it. Any other parts...
Thanks, everyone, for the useful information! Wow. Lots of books to begin with! I had also been recommended "Mobile Robots" although that book seems to be a...
"You make it sound easy. " Shoot, I didn't think so! I think Wolfgang was trying to pin down some terms that have been used ambiguously in BEAM literature. ...
Besides the Max8212, my favorites are the switches--Max312, 313, 314; Max401-405. Some are similar to the old 4066 but faster and lower-power, more versatile...

Ugh. Bruce, you might have noticed that I sent _two_ responses to you. In the first one, I remarked on vertebrates versus invertebrates and listed a few links....
