The capacitor charges until the PNP transistor (here shown as a 2N3906, but you could also use a BC327) receives base current through the Zener and turns on. Then the NPN transistor (here shown as a 2N3904, but you could also use a BC337) turns on and the capacitor is discharged through the motor. As the NPN turns on the 2.2K resistor starts to supply base current to the PNP and the circuit snaps on. visit page.

BEAM pummer circuits

The PowerSaver Flasher uses capacitive output coupling to produce brighter shorter flashes and has a much lower average current drain than standard bicore or 74HC14 flashers. The PS Flasher with one LED circuit (2 LEDs) runs all night from a 1F capacitor charged to 5.5V. Up to 12 LEDs can be...



The P5v2 5-motor walker circuit

The 74AC240 chips (U1-U5) are used as H-bridge style motor drivers since they have almost double the drive current compared to 74HC240 chips. These motor driver chips are permanently enabled by grounding control pins 1 and 19. The two groups each have four inputs connected in common to a bicore...



A. A. van Zoelen`s "Z-bridge"

You can drop all off the transistors and resistors if your motors don`t drain too much current. You only need a 74F139 or 74S139 NOT the LS version. The chip can provide peak currents up to 100mA for a short time (<1 second) and to one output at a time. This is for normal connections. I...



DC Motor-Driver H-Bridge Circuit

A very popular circuit for driving DC motors (ordinary or gearhead) is called an H-bridge. It`s called that because it looks like the capital letter `H` on classic schematics. The great ability of an H-bridge circuit is that the motor can be driven forward or backward at any speed, optionally...



Incect Robot circuit (PIC16F818)

Very little extra circuitry is needed to do both forword and backword walking sequences along with a few other tricks. The PIC16F818 has a lot of features that work well in this situation. As you can see from the Schematic and Source Listing, position pulses for the 2 servos are generated...



The SC (Schmitt Comparator) Head

I`ll eventually post an explanation, but in the meantime, here it is. Meanwhile, a slightly refined version (with flashing LEDs to indicate "lock") was posted a few weeks later:



Bridge Head

The LDR`s were hand-picked. Got two packages of them from Radio Shack, looking for at least two pairs of similar parts. Then added wire-wrap pin sockets, to the circuit, so that the LDR`s could be plugged in. Currently, the 0.33UF cap is not being used on my B-Head`s. I made a long J-hook from...



Code provides adjustable differential drive for robots

Intelligently modifying the motor-drive commands to a robot can give you control finesse during competitions. Moving a joystick hard right, for example, might have different effects, depending on the robot`s speed and direction. Software running on an inexpensive microcontroller (in this case, an...
