Eryth. July 2005

Eryth(ema) a little 1 motor solar powered light seeking walker.

She basks in the scorching hot sun for about 20 minutes then blurts into life for about 7 seconds.
I think she'll probably manage to travel about 2 meters a year given the amount of sun you get
here in Glasgow.

Eryth consists of a pager motor attached to a 100:1 gearbox from a much larger motor.
The electronics are WILF RIGTER'S MICRO CRAWLER V1.0 circuit.
The power is managed by a Maxim 8212 based solar engine
