When it first worked for me, I used the HB NiCd. I grounded binh and it worked. I used binh to measure like 7 inches and it worked fine too. ---...--- ericson mar Master of Engineering Candidate Project: Mobile Robotics mar@cooper.edu (212)353-4356 (...)

In fact, that's weird.. I can't answer to that.

For example, i (...) (26 years ago, 22-Apr-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

You can build a stepper motor controller on a separate circuit board, then remove the motor control IC's off the handy board and use the output signals to control your stepper. Will have to write a program to run it. you will need a min of 4 outputs (...) (26 years ago, 22-Apr-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

The nonlinearity has to due with the characteristics of your motor. You will find that a single step of power at the low end has a greater effect on the speed than a single step at the high end, as the motor approaches its top speed. The (...)

The reason you don't need a pull up resistor for the Handy Board is because the Handy Board has built in 47k pull up resistors on the digital inputs! -----Original Message----- From: MAR ERICSON <mar@cooper.edu> To: Darkman <lroska@cyberus.ca> Cc: (...)
