BEAM Circuits -- Micro Crawler 1-motor walker circuit (2194 words)
	When servos are used for BEAM bicore or microcore walker applications, the perpetual problem of centering the legs rears it's ugly head.
	BEAM walkers use microcore or bicore oscillators to apply a constantly reversing voltage across the motor winding.
	While it would be possible to use BEAM circuits to generate the 1.5 ms pulses +/-0.25 ms, it would require a fair bit of additional circuitry to what is supposedly the simplest possible design.
