Also some great Solar Engine tests! Circuits I will try to list as many useful circuits as possible here. There is nothing worse than not being able to find the circuits that you want! Click on the links to see them in a new window... if they appear distorted it may be because your browser is reducing their size to fit them in the window! if this happens, right click and save them to disk. I have started to add BEAM robot PCB's and PCB layouts to this page. The PCB's are created in PDF and will print to the actual size. I can supply them in emf, or gbx files if requested. Many circuits here have been requested or created for the BEAM Yahoo group by other contributors. Please feel free to suggest any circuits that you would like to see here, or if you have a circuit, please send it to me and I will put it on.
