 | | Handy Board "To Do List"
|
|
Hi Fred, I noticed the To Do list on the HB page and just wanted to mention a couple of things: 1) The shaft encoders from the IC distribution work without modification. I've been using encoders.icb and encoders.c successfully. I haven't tested (...) (29 years ago, 17-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | problem with PCI PowerMacs?
|
|
Has anyone tried the IC software (freeware or newtonlabs beta) with a PCI PowerMac? I'm in touch with someone who is having trouble, and I wonder if we can confirm a problem. Thanks, Fred (29 years ago, 17-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Attach leads to same place the charger goes. + to +, - to -. Don't forget the diode. To be safe, monitor the current when the batteries are fully charged. Should not be more than 50ma. It is a good idea to cycle the nicad's about once a month. That (...) (29 years ago, 17-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) I found a reference to the need to pull the solar cell out of the charging circuit when in darkness - is this necessary? Also, how should I select a diode for this purpose? Sean Cunningham MSI Consulting Group www.msiconsulting.com (29 years ago, 17-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Yup. I use my 7200/75 as my only robot development station, and love it. Not a single problem. As11_ic works great, all beat versions of IC work great, even the older version 2 of IC works great. My handyboard couldn't be happier. (except if (...)

| | HC11E1 or HC11A1
|
|
I was planning on using a HC11E1 on the handyboard instead of the HC11A1, other than twice the internal RAM it looks to be the same part. Is there any reason the E1 part won't work? Mark ===...=== Mark Hastings Phone 206-447-4175 Email: (...) (29 years ago, 17-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) The E1 will work fine. It is officially supported by all of the HB software. See the IC manual for more details. -f (29 years ago, 17-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Extension Board
|

I want an extension board for the HB. I am planning an arm on my bot. Hopefully with 4 or 5 degrees of freedom so I need more servo ports. Are there any beta units available? What is the progress on the production units? Does anyone have any first (...) (29 years ago, 18-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Multiple Servo control ??

Has anyone looked into using the "Mini SSC (Serial Servo Controller)" with Handy Board? Has anyone written any code to allow HB to SSC comunications? I would be very greatful for any info on combining the HB and SSC. Thank you, Larry ***...*** Larry (...) (29 years ago, 19-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
