Gear pager motor not enough power

Vansu — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 20:40:11 -0500

Okay I am trying to hook up the gear pager motor to test it so I write the code as below:

main:

high portc 3

wait 1

low portc 3

wait 1

goto main

I used the lead to test it and it seem to work the lead turn on and off every second but when I try with the gear pager motor its does not have enough power to move the motor. well the motor move but very slow so its not able to make a sound when it hit something.

What does it do?

My Black Drum Machine

So it all needs to start somewhere - order has been placed for the various components just when will they arrive.

When out buying concrete, sand and shingle tho i could not believe my eyes when i spied a £10- glue gun - so it begins. Shopped around for the components and think overall I have good prices - sadly the rule of thumb seems to be find the part - damn its from an american supplier - the price I wonder from the English ? easy swap $ for £ and add about 10% and robert is your fathers brother.

You can now buy a drumming robot, hand made by me, please see here for details :)

On this page I will help you making your own "Yellow Drum Machine" (from now on: "YDM", though it can be in any color, of course :)

If you have never build a robot before, I would STRONGLY suggest that you start by making this project. Many of the parts can be used in making an YDM afterwards.

Yellow Drum Machine SING-ALONG-VERSION

Amazed over the popularity the Yellow Drum Machine has recieved, but with my mother-in-law on visit, and a baby on my other arm, it is hard to do a follow up quickly :)

So this is a first-and only shoot, showing the sing-along-possibilities of YDM. I *could* have sung something more inspiring, and I could have taken another shot, to wait for a more inspiring rythm etc - but this is what I can manage right now (my baby girl is sleeping on my shoulder, even writing this is hard :)
