 | | Holiday Tunes for Interactive-C
|
|
Happy Holidays Everyone! I have a collection of several different holiday tunes (Jingle Bells, etc...) which can be played using Interactive-C on a Handyboard (or 6.270 board). If your Hanyboard or 6.270 board is just sitting in the corner (...) (28 years ago, 29-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I think you're right. I used a transistor to drive the INIT with its emmiter and feed the TTL signal to the base. It seems to work fine now. :) You know what's funny, I tried using a CMOS chip (HCT) and it was able to drive the INIT signal. I figure (...) (28 years ago, 28-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi, In the book "Mobile robotics -Inspiration to Implementation" the addition of a logarthmic amplifier to the o/p of a photocell is discussed. This logarithmic mapping is supposed to make the sensor more sensitive in dark rooms. Has anyone tried (...) (28 years ago, 27-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Has anyone used the Fast Track as a base for a robot and used the H-bridge in it to control the motors ?? Any link where I could find information about it ?? Thanks Oriol (28 years ago, 27-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Although I teach a digital electronics class based on the 74xx series, I'm certainly no expert, but here goes anyway... TTLs seem to have a very low ability to drive anything but minimal loads. Look up "drivers" in the TTL Data Book. They (...) (28 years ago, 24-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I hooked up the sonar to the +5 and GND on the HB and it wroked fine. I used TIC3 for Echo and pin 9 of 2nd Motor driver for INIT and GND for BINH I also hooked up the sonar power leads to the 9.6V unregulated motor power header! It also worked! (...)

Hi, I'm stuck. I'm trying to use TTL output of 74 series IC's to signal to INIT. I can't get it to work properly. Here's the deal. When I touch INIT to the 5V bus, the transducer "chirps". But when I touch INIT to a high level TTL output, it doesn't (...) (28 years ago, 23-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) My 20 years of navy sonar help me somewhat with active/passive transducers and things in the kilowatt range... :-) but I'm a rank newbie to most of the sonar talked about here.

(...) This is true of the POLAROID Ultrasonic Sensor module, but not necessarily true of all Ultrasonic Sensor modules. It depends on the type of Ultrasonic Transducer the circuit uses.

You can use either. The 180 ohm resistor will make the output LED brighter, which is generally better, unless you make it so bright as to reduce its lifespan. -Fred ---...--- (...) (28 years ago, 22-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi, I'm a little confused. On the Handy Board web page it says to use a 330 ohm resistor, but a coleuge of mine said to use a 180 ohm rest.. Please help. Could it be because I have a different brand of sensor than the one in the diagram??? Thanks in (...) (28 years ago, 21-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi, I'm working on a project in which I use the handy-board to steer a servo. I noticed that the voltage regulator on my handy-board gets rather hot. You actually burn your fingers on it...

Okay...I hooked up a Polaroid Rannging board to the Handyboard. And something about the supply prevents the echo from being properly detected. If I provide power from a more substantial supply, the echo is detected correctly (I was watching this on (...) (28 years ago, 21-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi Scott, (...) Since everything's CMOS, there's no trouble with static loading (CMOS inputs require essentially zero current in static operation). You will, however, be increasing the capacitance on the bus, which slows down the transitions a (...) (28 years ago, 21-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
