Hi I've just built my first HandyBoard (thanks for the great service Prabal), and have a few questions (that I can't find in the FAQ). What are the hardware-imposed software differences between the HandyBoard and the 6.270/Rug Warrior boards ? ie it (...) (29 years ago, 10-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) The Handy is like the 6.270; both have dig out latches going to the motors. The RW drives the motor ctrl pins directly. A re-write of the system PWM routines could provide finer than 8 levels of control, even w/o needing HW timer lines. (...) (...) (29 years ago, 10-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to position the cursor directly. Using IC's printf function works great, but I can't position the cursor exactly where I want it.

HI Just wondering what kind of success anyone has had with piggy-backing the L293's. My HB came with the TI h-bridge chips and I wanted to know if I could use the same technique. I figure if two chips can be run in parallel, giving up to 2A for each (...) (29 years ago, 10-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) The TI chips should work fine. You might not get a full 2A, but at least a 50% improvement. (...) The traces can handle it, but the PolySwitch fuse should limit total current to about 4 to 5 A. You might need to remove the fuse and live (...) (29 years ago, 10-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Greetings! I have a couple of "newbie" questions if you please: I ordered from LEGO, their "sensor suite". I managed to wire and use the touch sensor.

Hello there. I've piggybacked three chips, for a total of 2.6A (2 1A chips and 1 0.6A chip, piggybacked with heat sink compound slathered between all the chips and between the top chip and the heat sink I've put on it). I haven't had any problems (...) (29 years ago, 10-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi all, Many people are asking about the Expansion Board. It has been on the "back burner" because my publisher is demanding text, not technology. But I do plan to release another rev this summer.

I'm curious as to how the Polaroid sonar and servo circuits will work. Will they simply steal timer lines from the HB's digital headers, or do you have something more complex worked out? For example, will the sonar's ECHO signal still go to a (...) (29 years ago, 11-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
