You can, though, use this circuit to drive any bipolar or unipolar (via bipolar drive) stepper motor. In the Solarbotics diagram, the Yellow and Blue leads are the end contacts of one motor winding, and the Red and White leads are the end contacts of the other motor winding. In the case of the unipolar motor that Solarbotics sold, an additional two Green leads were the two windings` center taps, and left unconnected.Some time back, Solarbotics sold some very nice little unipolar stepper motors. To drive them, Solarbotics came up with a nice simple drive circuit based on a master / slave bicore pair. It only drives the motor in one direction, but uses just a 74AC visit page.

Zener-based solar engine

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...

Tritium Solar engine

The Tritium circuit was the first (to my knowledge) type 3 SE. As such, it is quite experimental, and should be regarded as a prototype rather than the `state of the art`! Nevertheless, it does function reasonably well, and in some circumstances outperforms other solar engines such as the Freds...



12V / 4A Solar cell regulator

When the panel isn't generating, the entire circuit is off and there is absolutely no current drain from the battery. When the sun gets up and panel starts producing at least 10 Volt, the LED lights and the two small transistors switch on. This powers the regulator circuit. As long as the battery...
