(...) I've tried unarchiving the program a couple times, on a couple different machines, which had a couple different copies of IC, with the same results. I'll try it on the PC I have at home, which I haven't gotten around to doing yet. I'm also not (...) (29 years ago, 17-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

i think it would be good if beta users cc'ed their bugs along the handyboard list--I am interested in hearing how it's working but don't have time to bang on it directly. Perhaps others feel the same way. -Fred (29 years ago, 17-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

|

I just tried unarchiving IC 3.1 on my 486 at home, running Win 3.1, and Win 32s 1.25.141.0 (or so the win32s.ini file says). I'm having the same problem I had before, where all of the files have an "Inflating: ...." message in front of them. My (...) (29 years ago, 17-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Can anyone explain why the values in the _speed_table were chosen. int _speed_table[]= { 0b00000000, /* speed 0 */ 0b00010001, 0b01001001, 0b01010101, 0b01010111, 0b01110111, 0b01111111, 0b11111111 /* speed 7 */ }; Can they be change to a linear (...)

(...) Sure, why not? The way the motor speed table works is that the number is bit shifted out to the motor. Each bit gets the same ammount of time. So if you don't want your motor to move, then you bit shift all zeros. If you want it to run at a (...) (29 years ago, 17-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

|

Hi Jeff, Thanks for your help. To our knowledge, no one has successfully run IC 3.1b1 under Windows 3.1 with using the win32s extension. We will look into what it will take to make future releases win32s-compatible, but for now, we apologize that (...) (29 years ago, 18-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi. My board was working fine until I hooked up some different motors to it today. It seems that whenever I try to drive the motors the low battery light lights up and the board gets reset. I checked the battery and it reads 8.4V before and while (...) (29 years ago, 18-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Is it possible that your battery is simply discharged? Does the board exhibit the problem when you try driving the previous motors that did not give you a problem? Regarding the charge light on the serial board, are you sure that the charge rate (...) (29 years ago, 18-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Motor speed question (premature)
|

Hi, Sorry for my earlier question about the motor speed table. It was a bit premature. After boning up on PWM I found that the values selected represented the "fine" (i.e. less jerky) settings. There can be as many as 16 different steps that can be (...) (29 years ago, 18-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
