Hello All! Thank you so much for all the wonderful resources at this group... I am an engg student and have been building a beam walker for my class project......
I'm feeling pretty confident right now. Still need an outside opinion, though. You see, I was trying to figure out what sort of AND gate I was going to make...
I'm really new to BEAM robotics (and robotics in general), so I'm pretty naive to the various concepts in general. Ever since I became aware of BEAM...
You know, robotics isn't my only nag. I also have quite a thing for antigravity devices. Why? Because they're COOL. But there's actually a pretty simple way to...
Ok I am new to BEAM robotics so Hello to my new friend and my new fun world. So if you could point ,e in a direction for a first project or a book to start...
Greetings everyone, i'm trying to build the 1381 miller engine, and as far as i can see i've built it correctly, the only problem is.. it won't work, i'm also...
Hey, back again, finally. I think I just figured out how neural networks actually compute input factors when need be. I started thinking about a PWM circuit...
Hey, I was doing research and found a place called wormatlas.org. Basically it's a map of every neuron in the entire nervous system of a 1mm long tube worm...
Ouch... I have my lathe and mill... And the pain is TOTALLY worth it. I'm nearly completely moved into my new apartment, and I have my mill and lathe here too....
I've already described the basic aspects of my latest design,H.A.W.C., in my last post, however, there are some interesting quirks I found in the design I want...
Hey Gang, My name is Gary Gipson, I am 42 Years old; am thrice divorced; and I live in a VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER ! ! Seriously, I live in Garden City, KS and...
I am looking for a tiny, DC, brushless motor with integrated commutation (speed controller integrated, maybe with a PWM speed control signal to the controller)...
Has anyone felt the need to research the behaviors of simple animals for their robotic implementations? I have. I'm thinking of getting an aquarium and buying...
I am thinking to create 2-motor 4-leg walker capable of flipping itself back on its legs if it gets flipped over. Anyone implemented this before? I imagine...
And another thing, I'd like to see if it's possible to create a neuron that changes its own waveform pattern when the weights at its inputs are altered. From...
Hey all, I've just started construction of my first photopopper. I have two very small pager motors (6x12mm, shaft diameter <1mm) and was wondering what size...
It's come to my attention that there is a particular type of diode called a varicap diode, which acts as a capacitor in reverse bias, and the capacitance is...
This list has turned really quiet over the years.. Any rough guess of active beamers here? Is there other beam community people hang around out there?...
What if I, instead of using resistors in a master/slave bicore, coupled the two with incandescent lamps, and enlarged the cap values to compensate for the...
In case anyone's interested, I'm working on a one motor OISM walker, capable of phototropism, obstacle detection and avoidance, and smooth variable motor...
Hi All, I am hoping someone will be able to help me! I really want to make a solar powered theremin for a friend's birthday. I have the instructions from here...
Could someone explain to me what that thing is in the middle of Vbug 1.6's schematic? Because I would really like to know. Also, could anyone tell me how an...
Hey again, I was just going through these parts again, and found two MC1489P line-drivers. I read the datasheet and found that each NAND's hysteresis can be...
I was looking for more parts on a port driver card from that old computer again, and I found maybe the coolest IC ever! It's called the 74LS240N, and it's...
