what i did w/Re: Weekend Project: Make an Electronic Cricket

I'm using the solar engine circuit design from the book "Junkbots, Bugbots and Bots on Wheels". By Dave Hrynkiw and Mark W. Tilden.

if im using more motors do i need more capacitors im using 2200 uf 25v capacitors i have three if i do need to use more im going to run two motors

I don't think more caps will work even if they are the same motor. If one motor has a lower triggering point then all the power might just go to one motor and not both. I think each motor should have its own driving circuit. What are you making?

what book do you have???

[infamousartgallery1]

The book is called "junkbots, Bugbots & bots on wheels" by Dave Hrynkiw and Mark W. Tilden

@infamousartgallery1 you should take apart a controller and use a weighted vibration motor, then hot glue it to the bottom of the tube.

where did you get the schematics? because i really like to build the electronic cricket. thanks

COOL !

just on that solar panel ??

A bit of a hack job on the cell phone. I suggest using scrap electronics for the rest instead of paying way to much at radio shack ... You could also use green LEDs to replace the solar cell ... you can find "info" on "greenwatts"
