The following instructions detail how to build a Servocore walker. A Servocore walker differs from a regular walker by utilizing the internal electronics in unmodified servos, which give position feedback from the motor in the servo. This position feedback allows for very long stride lengths without the use of mechanical stops or springs.
Friday New Product: FETs
Solar botics
July 11, 2014
What we have today are not Fairly Expensive Tortillas or Fortunately Edible Theremins, but Field-Effect Transistors. If you know what it is, I will leave you to explore:
|
1RFZ44N N-Channel FET $2.50 The IRFZ44N is a very powerful useful N-Channel FET, with only 0.0175ohms resistance pushing 20 amperes at 5V! |
 |
FQP27P06 P-Channel FET $0.95 A robust P-Channel FET that is capable of interfacing with most 5V-logic microcontrollers. |
 |
NDP6020P P-Channel FET, --2.5V gate, -20V, 24A max $1.95 An N-channel FET with an extremely low gate voltage which can be controlled by most 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers. |
..and no, these are not even Forcibly Eccentric Tabbies.
