Aha, I know nothing about Handyboards, only about NiCads. I don't see why you need a larger power supply to charge slightly larger cells. Your handyboard is probably only drawing about 75 to 100 mAh to charge at 50 mAh, so a bigger power supply (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I'm sorry, I didn't explain myself well enough. I meant to say that I used the 500mA 12V power supply (block AC to DC transformer) by connecting it to the handyboard. From the specifications, the handyboard is supposed to be able to charge 800mAh (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Wow! That is very interesting. I wonder if the whole thing is synchronous and based on the 3mS sensor read cycle? This would mean that every process gets one of its byte codes "done" during this periodic 3mS spring-clean cycle. I guess the (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

I've released another version of BricxCC. This release fixes a couple minor bugs. The Code Explorer feature wasn't processing a file when it was first opened (it was waiting until the first change was made). That should work correctly in this (...)

(...) I don't know if you are using BricxCC or not, but I get a single error when I try to compile this line of code if the target is set to Scout or Cybermaster.

Interesting this is being discussed now. I wrote a chunk of code at the weekend (NQC) to allow me fine control over the motors. Basically, you give each one a number from 0-100, call it N. The drive task counts ticks from 0-99 and ensures the motor (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Jeremy, You hooked it straight to a 12V power supply? That's kind of a brutal way to charge NiCad's. Who knows what that's going to do. If it's regulated at 500mA, then it should take just a little over two hours to charge a 1000mAh pack, which is a (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I would like to sell a working handyboard to anyone interested. It works fine I just don't have time to play with it anymore. (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
