| | Re: HB died - HELP
|
| Keith, You may have shorted something out while connecting up the battery. I've seen this before, and parts do fry if you connect them to 9.6v. If while you had the battery ground lead connected, you just brushed the +v lead onto some pins, that (...) (29 years ago, 4-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: hmph
|
| (...) Be careful. Cheap RC cars tend to use 3v motors that want to draw a fair bit of current. Expensive RC cars use motors in a better voltage range for the HB (.e.g, 8.4 or 9.6v), but they draw serious current (5 to 10A easy). -F (29 years ago, 5-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | driving 3v motors
|
| (...) The best solution here is to replace the HB's 9.6v batt with a 6v one. Once you get past the L293's, you'll be giving around 4v to the motors, which should be fine. -F (29 years ago, 5-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: Sony IR decoding routine!

| ic is very sensitive to linefeed termination in icb files. if you are runnnin on an ms-dos system, i believe it requires unix style (e.g., ctrl-j) termination, rather than ms-dos ctrl-m ctrl-j style. try removing the ctrl-m's from your copy of the (...)
