With the non-bridged board, each socket will control 2 boards. So for board 1, you'll connect to pins 1 and 2 in the socket, and for board 2 connect to pins 9 and 10. The other pins you can do as you please (for the brake, current sense, and thermal (...) (26 years ago, 9-Apr-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Generally, you can get cheaper servos from just about anywhere else than Tower hobbies. The cheapest, but good enough, is Hitec or Cirrus. Tower's Hitec price is not good. Cirrus line(Hobby Shack's line) is cheaper than Hitec. Check (...) (26 years ago, 7-Apr-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Note that the Handyboard runs in 'special test mode' which has as a benefit a lifting of the 64 cycle limit. Specifically you can switch in and out of single chip mode at will, which is essential for driving the LCD display. --Chuck (26 years ago, 5-Apr-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
