Hey,
I'm planning to build a BEAM robot and found this smart circuit (from https://www.solarbotics.com/product/k-pp). However i'm not sure to understand how the photodiodes are used in the circuit.
It's mentioned in the manual that the one receiving the most light will trigger the voltage trigger faster, but wouldn't they need to be reverse-biased (cathode to positive leg of C1) for that? How does this configuration work exactly?
Thanks!
