I had considered doing -100 to 100 PWM in hardware. I even went so far as to draw up the schematics for it... Then I read the HC11 manual, and realized that instead of my "little" circuit, I could just use another HC11.. The internal timer/counters (...)

| | Re: More Motor Speeds

it's harder than you might expect, b/c the PWM routine is 'hard-wired" into the pcode file. basically, you have to make the changes in pcode.asm, and reassemble the pcode_hb.s19 file. -fred In your message you said: (...) (28 years ago, 23-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

|

I want to increase the resolution of the motor driver routines provided by Interactive C, so that there are more than 7 speeds. Using the method of generating PWM signals in the Mobile Robots Book, this seems easy. However looking at the primitive (...) (28 years ago, 23-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | motor voltages

Hello again, Thanks to all who responded to my query regarding motor chips on the Mini Board. Now that I have the more capable motor drivers installed, I want to lower the voltage that my motors see. They are getting straight 9V from the motor chips (...) (28 years ago, 23-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I (...) Use a couple power diodes in series with the motor power supply, _NOT_ the motor itself. You'll need pretty heafty diodes if you go this route. A typical Si diode drops between 0.6 and 0.7 volts when forward biased. String a few together and (...) (28 years ago, 23-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Howdy, Is there anyone out there that can explain programming IC for IR collision avoidance. I have read the mobile robots book and everything in the IC manual I downloaded and the 6.270 hardware info but still haven't got a good grasp of the best (...)

David, You can replace the L293 on your MiniBoard with the TI SN754410 with no adverse effects. The two chips are pin-for-pin compatible. - Prabal (...) (28 years ago, 22-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi all, I am running some motors from a Mini Board and I want to up the current output of the board. I have noticed that the motor drivers on the MB are the L293 chips just like the Handy Board. Now if the 1 Amp motor chips that many Handy Board (...) (28 years ago, 21-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
