Hi there,
I finally managed to build a funtional prototype of a real rotator beacon for my Kenny. ..I will have to build a second one.. but first, I need to test this first prototype.. and I need to find a way to connect the motor properly.
I used 1.8mm Leds and coals from a 130-type motor to transfer the current.
Here are the pictures and movies:

I hope you like it.. now I'll run some tests on the beacon to make sure it runs for more than just a few seconds.
Cheers
Pip
