Just arrived at challenge 31 but the capacitor only partially charges. Is this normal or should it fully charge? ie is the capacitor faulty?
Hey @jenkincornwall,
When you say it only partially charges, what value is the capacitor giving?
The battery is ~6 spinVolts, so for Challenge #31, you should see a value around 6 (note that due to some internal resistances inherent in the Spintronic parts, you may not see a full 6 spinVolts). If you are seeing less than ~6 spinVolts, what happens if you tap the top of the capacitor gently?
thanks sprocket, been out of it for a while
charges to just over 5, so I’m ok with that
Hi,
I came to challenge 31. I cannot set up both hands of capacitor on zero. They simply do not coincide.I rotate with my hand blue gears in due capacitor’s hands point to zero. When long hand points to zero, small hand cannot be rotated futher. If I release blue gear (i.e. take my hand off) , capacitor just rotates. At the end small hand is on zero and large hand is on 9 or 7.
Is it correct behaviour? I was trying to find video showing how it should work and I could not find it.
It looks to me that capacitor is not working as desirable.
Any advise please to understand how it should work.
