Hi Adi, Sorry I can't reply this evening to all the fine ideas being proposed but I will have more time tomorrow to participate. Mean time here is a short...
I was thinking (after walking my dog) that you could fix loads of IR diods to a ball and with the watering beacon system, where the robot goes towards the...
I've got a 9.6V Ni-cd battery i want to solar trickle charge but i'm not sure what solar panel i need. It's a pack of 8 AAs each with 800mAh. thanks. pete...
You can trickle charge these at 0.1C (80ma) with a 12V / 1W rated solar panel. With some electronics, the current could be regulated for use with higher...
So could i connect 3 of these http://www.mutr.co.uk/prodDetail.aspx? prodID=338 in series to higher the voltage? I was thinking that would give you too much...
... Check out robocup. Its basically the same thing. A clear sphere has a pcb inside with about 10 IR led's and a rechargable battery. The robots on the field...
Hey all, I haven't posted in quite a long time. Still going strong with BEAM though; I even got a Scout Walker for Christmas. But due to school work...
Hi Jonathan, PLC's aren't very BEAMish but they sure are used in industrial automation a lot. They are a great thing to get into and good programmers can be...
I forgot about that, i saw a game at a technology fair in london once. It would be kool to make a team. Sinse now i always thought they used that basic object...
how do you track IR light? I mean like if you have a 38kHz source what can you use to know if it is left or righ AND how much? Juan Cubillo ... From:...
i think i may have forgotten the link, lol http://www.comfiletech.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=6 ... automation ... be in ... 1000 PLC. ... I...
Hey, i was looking for a kit myself not too long ago, just to play around with.( i'm also taking a PLC course at the moment.) this is one my prof. bought for...
Unless i'm wrong, the bot has 2 IR on each side. It works like the little light following BEAM bots but only filters infrared light. If you have an infrared...
okay.. i'm new to electronics and I recently read up about electronic components. Unfortunately, schematics has gotten me very confused. I have some idea on...
oh yea and I forgot to mention that i want someone to explain this solar engine schem to me... http://beam-life.solarbotics.net/images/BEAMSE.JPG I'm confused...
Heh, I'm trying to tackle the same problem with human detection too! I'll share something I found, seeing as my resources are limited, and I'm too lazy to post...
If you just want to play with PLC programming (to see if you like it) you could try the TwinCat software from Beckhoff.. Just klick on downloads, there you can...
What country are you from? If you're in the USA there are thousands of places that sell cheap slar panels.. unlike England :(. That circuit turns a motor when...
... Andy does indeed still sell kits and parts. I have ordered from him numerous times last time was just a few weaks ago. Great service never had any problems...
Hi Check out this cool site I found. They're giving away ipod nanos. http://www.mygiftresource.com/?r=MRGEEXMINgkyA2sKBS0G&i=hm&z=1&tc=2 Sign up so we can both...

Hi Wilf, Thanks for the great explanation. The term LED array implies a x/y matrix like the commercial 5x7 type arrays, ... So this means they cannot all be...
Hi Adi, Correct so far! Let me expand on this LED indicator/sensor design using the uController example. It takes two steps for a uController to measure a LED ...
Would a bi-core connected to a single H-Bridge that has two motors connected to it count for an interesting BEAM Walker or BEAM Walker at all? That's the...
Hello YFH, May we put group consensus for the moment, and look at personal opinion? Perhaps now would be an excellent time to share your views are on BEAM's...
I just found this. You have to check out the movie. http://www.newscientist.com/channel/mech-tech/dn8802.html I't a walker that even the Grant would be...
