So folks especially those that regularly attend my Buildfests but because of personal reasons I will not be able to host a Buildfest this month. Cheers, Steve...
I'm wanting to build a circuit that I can up with but I need to transmit data to a reciver and have it activate a buzzer. the problem lyes in that i'm not sure...

There are several types of remote control systems. Some, like TV remotes, use InfraRed (IR) beams. Some, like the "clapper", use sound and others, like garage...

Hi Wilf, This is a marginal BEAMish question, but to keep it on track, lets's assume that I want to use the BEAM stepper motor driver circuit with heavy duty...
I'm just starting out with electronics. It is a lot to learn. I try. I learned which pins are E,B and C. It was easy. Hold flat side to you and they are...
Hi Henrik I have not tried this, (maybe I should!), so I cannot say if it will actually work. Still, it's an idea. Your solar cell may be able to slowly charge...
... And some are ordered C,B,E. And some are ordered B,C,E. (Or is that B,E,C?) What I'm saying is, you've got to check the datasheet for your component to...
That was way to advanced for me in such abstract form. If you try it out later please let me know. I was surprised that I couldn't find anything about this on...
Hello Henrik.. Have you tried to add a bigger capacitator? If you want to lift the voltage a zenerdiode could be used (or perhaps a voltage regulator?), but I...
Have you thought about hacking those ZipZaps or other cheap RC toys? Just need to add a transistor input on one of the transmitter controls, and another one at...
Hi Myc, Depends on the type of stepper of course. For a unipolar stepper, FETs or Darlingtons are often used. For bipolar steppers, an integrated h-bridge is...
Seems like first reply didn't make it. Sorry if this becomes a double post. Original message: That was way to advanced for me in such abstract form. If you try...
Hi Wilf, I have 2 sets of steppers NEMA 17 and NEMA 23's. Both are unipolar. NEMA 17 -- 8.56 volts 26.5 ohms 0.323 amps NEMA 23 -- 4 volts 3.3 ohms 1.2 amps ...
Looking into it right now! Thanks! /Henrik ... From: "Lichtermann Johan" <johanlich@...> To: <beam@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 4:29...
There was an article in Poptronix (now Nut & Volts) a few years ago that talked about using a charge pump for solar panels. (Like Jo suggests) But I think...
Thanks for the help. More panels seemed easiest so I have just killed three calculators for their cells. Well not killed, more like eviscerated. I have a...
If you are looking for a niffy project you might want to try building a "Rainbow Drive", a solar powered device which when hung by a suction cup thingy in a...
Dear Friends, Adhesive Theater Project would like to personally invite you to our first ever Robot Parade, on Saturday, April 22nd at noon at Empire- Fulton...
Finally here she is... http://www.computerfreaks.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/beam/queen.html I will do a proper write up on it soon, this is just a release for people...
Nice job Tom, Paul and Stuart! Looks like the two waist motors are driven from the same motor driver. MS-Bicore by any chance? With each "pair" of legs...
Thanks Wilf, The circuit is just a master bicore up front controlling the first leg pair, this signal is then replicated on the rear leg. The central legs use...
