1381 PHOTOPOPPER

[t0f0b0]

It's scary. I don't like bugs and it sounds like one. hehe

[Maximinators]

can you use a FLED for the 1381 instead?

IT GOING TO KILL US ALL! there's always a blond girl who trips over her own foot in the horror movies and allows the extremely slow moving attacker to WALK up and kill them, so this will be great!

looks like a mosquito

[kopaszss]

Very nice! Is the circuit diagram public?

[rocifier]

Nice. Try using a smaller cap and bigger wheels. Goes alright considering the dull light in the room.

[scuffieduffie]

so awsome.

[davidbball13]

how big are the caps

[goldslinger]

The main cap is 4700uF

.22mfd on the trigger ones, if I remember correctly.

[bluppfisk]

EXTREMELY BIG!!!!

[OzzyGurl]

HAHA! cool! it farts every time it moves!

[asiansinsation3]

LOL!!! IT DOES

[Ju5tATh0ught]

hurray for BEAM!

[Laserlight30]

Why don't you use a smaller value capacitor?

then it will go faster and responds more rapidly.

Pretty cool though..

[goldslinger]

quicker pops, but MUCH smaller steps, for this bot.

Can't have it both ways.

Thanks for the suggestion. It's fun to experiment.

Ahh, understood.

How much did the panel cost.. i could get the rest of the components from school...hehhee

Also have you improved this since you uploaded it?

[Gariel2007]

you can get the panel from school as well. just take apart old calculators

[Elswalbe]

How much did it cost to build this, and where did you order the parts from?

[goldslinger]

There is a Great tutorial for a basic photopopper, similar to this one. I've built dozens from his tutorial and they work great! !

Google: RAY'S BEAMBOT TUTORIAL.
