So far Miller Popper 4a is the winner, and I succumbed to the temptation to build a photopopper with that circuit. It works well! The circuits seem more...
Thanks for testing the circuit in the mobile platform unit. That is essential because the mechanics and electronics are interactive. Best photopopper...

I have posted Miller Popper V6 which uses just one 1381 and two darlington transistors capable of driving a 1A load. D2 and D3 should be Schottky or Ge type...
Been a while since I last looked at this circuit. I remember testing it on the bench although I never installed it on a mobile platfom. Four years later it...
Hi Andy, ... It will connect 4 HCMOS outputs together with opposite output levels and will heat up and probably damage the chip if Vcc = 5V One transistor and...
OK, I have posted GBSE2 in my file folder which fixes all the shortcomings of the previous version. It uses two 1381E triggers but less parts overall. Uses...

Hi Guys This is Krishna from India. I would like to check if any one of you can send me a simple 2 motor walker circuit or a photovore. I am crazy about BEAMs...
Krishna, There are many circuit out there, the most basic form of a 2 motor walker being the one featured in the Junkbots book. Have you got this book? it...

Hi Wilf, Just got a chance to implement your design for the new GBSE. I am sorry to report that I could not get this design to function at all. I tried it...
I found some 1381s and should be able to check it out later tonight. I will let you know the results. ... From: Ryan M Hart To: beam@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
it works ok as shown but there is a problem getting the time constants right. Without fine tuning, it can hang because the main cap discharge is too small for...
