That'll work, of course, but that also means I'll be dissapating about 8 volts at .5A through the resistor... Gary Livick wrote in message <380B55B1.1C3703C4@p...ll.net>... (...) to (...) still (...) but (...) (26 years ago, 18-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Good point... There is another way. You can build your own h-bridges using mechanical relays and maybe a few diodes. They drop zero volts, which is good. However, you obviously can't PWM the things. If you just want rudimentary speed control, you (...) (26 years ago, 18-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

32K is a ton of memory for embedded 8 bit code... if you need data storage and processing then that's an entirely different thing -- it could easily make AI difficult. As far as fixed point vs. floating point, I once worked on a project where they (...) (26 years ago, 18-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Ummm, respectfully, yes. If the team took days to rework the code when control data tables change, then they were not using tools and methods appropriate to the task at hand.
