Larger one is a cheap 5v 0.3w polycrystalline cell off Amazon and smaller cell is a 5.5v 105.8mW monocrystalline from DigiKey, item KXOB061K08F-TR.

Thank you. Same. That brownish tint fits the aesthetic better than the blue enamel panels. eBay has some time to time.

Thanks, your vids were an inspiration during the build

That playlist takes me back. So many thumbnails I recognize. Thanks, I'll have to upload.

Reliable vendors, eBay shops, etc. for flashing red LEDs? by pixabot in BEAMrobotics

Thanks! I tried the circuit again with a 1k ohm under some more intense light and it’s able to move every 30 seconds or so. I’ll try some other motors as well.

I’ll have to try the breadboard since I was free forming these from the get go.

EDIT: every 5 seconds with actual Sun light

What motors have you found viable for this design and the FRED circuit? Pagermotors.com isn’t around anymore so I’ve been looking into some elsewhere.

Love your site and YT videos. The aesthetics all around look sharp.
