What is a general rule of thumb (if there is one) for the frequency of the microcore?
T = R * C Where: T is in seconds R is resistance in Ohms C is capacitance in farads Thus, T = (1,000,000 ohms) * (0.000 000 22 farads) T = 0.22 seconds delay at each Nv, Therefore, for the entire Nv network propagation time is, T * 4 (the number of Nv neurons in a microcore) = 0.88 seconds This is should be close to what you are observing. Manufacturing Tolerances Problem Q: I’ve interfaced the motors with the 74ALS245’s and they are running and oscillating but the problem is that the motors oscillate more one way than the other does. Does anyone have any suggestion as to how to make the oscillations even so that the motor shaft will not rotate? A: Sounds like you’re running into the manufacturing tolerances problem, where the resistors are +/- 5% and the caps are +50%/-20% (I think that’s what it is). Only way to tune it is by swapping out caps/resistors (or measuring them before you put them in) until they’re about right. But honestly – in almost all walkers, a little left/right bias
