Some of you may have found the LightStorm Pummers that Mark Tilden has made using some neat looking plastics. We've built our own variation of the circuit, which is a dark-activated, quad-bicore pseudo-random chaos generated, dual pummer circuit.
Parts required are:
Dark Turn on Circuit
- Solarcell (SB Part SC2433)
- 1F 2.5V (SB Part CP1.0F) capacitor
- 1 Germanium Diode (SB Part D2)
- 100k Trimpot (SB Part RT100k)
- 2n3904 transistor (SB Part TR3904)
- 2n3906 transistor (SB Part TR3906)
Pummer Circuit
- 74HCT240 (SB Part 74HCT240)
- 2 x 1000uF Capacitor (SB Part CP1000)
- 2 x UltraBright LEDs (SB Part UBLED-R)
- 2 x 100k Resistors (SB Part 100k)
- 2 x 22uF Capacitors (SB Part CP22)
- 4 x 0.22uF Capacitors (SB Part CP0.22uF)
- 2 x 2 MegaOhm Resistors (SB Part R2.0M)
Pummer Circuit
- 74HCT240 (SB Part 74HCT240)
- 8 x 2n3904 Transistors (SB Part TR3904)
- 8 x CP0.22µF Capacitors (SB Part CP0.22uF)
- 8 x 1k Resistors (SB Part R1k)
- 2.2 MegaOhm Resistor (SB Part R2.2M)
- 3 MegaOhm Resistor (SB Part R3M)
- 3.3 MegaOhm Resistor (SB Part R3.3M)
- 4.3 MegaOhm Resistor (SB Part R4.3M)

K SMD Motor Driver
Got a new kit for you - the K SMD L293D Motor Driver. No, no, the SMD isn't "surface mount" - it's the Secret Motor Driver! This L293D-based motor driver fits secretly inside most standard servo cases like the Futaba S3003/S148, and our own GM4 gear motors. It replaces the low-voltage original electronics with LED-indicated, […]
Cool project
Neil Sandstrom from the BEAM mailing list recently posted a notice about his "ShokHead" circuit built from our tutorial. What makes this project a bit different is that he mounted it on a VPM motor, so it's all self-contained. Here's what he says about it: Just finished!!! Check it out it is really small!! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beam/files/Psyclesam/ […]

We've been working with the Chinook Mall since they did a retrofit a decade ago, where they really amped up the mall, making it the keynote shopping centre of Calgary. One of their features is the "Time Capsule Clock", which sits in the floor of the center court, where a 1000 year time capsule waits […]
