Thanks guys(Rainer and Gary) for your valuble ideas. i think i will go with the
Rainer's method because of the simpicity(only
one motor). any way i designed my sensor module for beacon finding long back
with three sensors. so now i got confidence
that it's going to work. i haven't tried this with HB yet. unfortunatly
yesterday night i fried my HB bymistake. my 12v 1amp
power touched the HB tracks and blowed something up. i sent a mail to this news
group and started working on debugg
procedure. i will let you know if i succeed in it. Thanks again guys. you are
very helpfull to me.

| (...) Hi all, why so complicated ? Use a pair of gears to double the turn ability. We had the same problem (to find a beacon) and succesfully build it. I guess you don't have to be 1 degree accurate, or ?? I think 2 degrees will work. (You don't (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
