 | | [Q] Can the Handy-Board interface with a computer
|
|
I was wondering if an on-board computer would be able to send signals to the Handy-Board, to execute specific commands, such as go forward ten feet. I would be using the computer as the center hub of my network, with the Handy-Board controlling the (...) (29 years ago, 15-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | I need two servo signals...
|
|
I really need two servo-out signals. I got one working just fine with the standard servo code and output to digital pin 9. I was thinking I could just adapt the servo code for another port, but I don't know what other port I can use. Currently, I (...) (29 years ago, 16-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | platform
|
|
I am looking for a mobile platform to attach the handyboard. I was hoping to find a tracked vehicle (such as an R/C model tank) where each track is independently powered with a motor. This would allow steering to be done without a servo and the (...) (29 years ago, 16-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) I saw a CAT D-9 at Toys R Us for about $30 last weekend. The CAT D-9 is a bulldozer. It is wire controlled with independant track drive. Not sure if it'll work outdoors tho. (29 years ago, 16-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Check out Toys R Us. There is a really neat series of construction vehicle toys (a bulldozer, frontendloader, dump truck, etc...) which could be used. If you wanted a tracked vehicle, check out the Bulldozer. I've got two of these for the (...) (29 years ago, 16-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Ah, this should be the device I saw. It's quite powerful and I think it would work extremely well outdoors. You can remove the trench-digger attachment and the front scoop and you've got a nice little tracked platform to attach a handyboard to (...) (29 years ago, 16-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) You were right, Fred. I switched from my Pentium machine over to my old Everex 386-33... and the HB came right up. Go figure! Some kind of timing issue? One strange thing, though... on the second time through, the board still kicks the same (...) (29 years ago, 17-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi, Fred: You were right, Fred- changing computers solved the problem. I switched from using my Pentium machine to my old 386-33, and it worked fine. Some kind of timing issue? One interesting thing, though. I still get this error, whenever I D/L (...) (29 years ago, 17-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

|

Hi all! Does somebody knows a free/shareware that converts a text file from MS-DOS format to UNIX format? Actually, it must strips the excessive Ctrl-j (or ctrl-m, I don't remember). I think somebody posted an URL address where you can do this (...) (29 years ago, 17-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
