 | | RE: High current motors
|
| Jeff is correct, after looking at the schematics for the motor driver my circuit won't work. You will have to wire two sides of the motor driver output to the 2907's with back to back diodes. I'll draw up a schematic and post it. (In my original (...) (30 years ago, 15-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
| | |  | | RE: h-bridges, current info
|
| The answer is yes, but it isn't as useful. BJTs (Bipolar Junction Transistors) are current based devices, if you look at the 'base' input to the transistor as a pipe, for NPN devices there needs to be current flowing "into" the base for them to turn (...)

| | |  | | Sonar sensitivity to 'Curtains'
|
| I gave my Polaroid Sonar the curtain test and it passed. Someone suggested that Sonar could not see curtains. Not only does it see curtains, it also sees a towel, a handkerchief, a kleenex, and, get this, a piece of free hanging string. My bot is (...) (30 years ago, 16-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
| | |  | | Re: Battery level monitoring?
|
| (...) For anyone else interested, I came across a description by Fred of a modification to the Miniboard that describes how to cut a track on the board to allow analog battery level monitoring. Unfortunately, the picture is missing from the page: (...) (30 years ago, 16-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
| | |  | | TCNT address
|
| Hi everybody, I am windering if the system timer register TCNT is one of the IC global variable or we should declare it, and if so whats the address of this register. My second question is about the HB pins 0 to 15, can anyone tell me where I can (...) (30 years ago, 16-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
