Where is a good place to get IR relectance sensors? Also, I'm having a little trouble comprehending some specs. What is the "sensing distance". For example, (in the Mouser CAtalog) the sensing distance of as Omron optical sensor with built in (...) (28 years ago, 8-Dec-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I can't seem to find the male and female headers in the Digikey catalog. Is the No. in the HB Tech Ref (929974-01-36-ND and 929834-01-36-ND) the Digikey Part No.? Perhaps someone can tell me a description. Is it English or Metric? Thanks. (28 years ago, 7-Dec-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi! Our board is fixed, thanks for your advice David. It was actually the circuit board holder vice that we were using to hold the board while soldering. It was made of metal and shorting power to ground. . . Our second board has a problem now, this (...) (28 years ago, 6-Dec-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) any normal cmos low power 28-pin (JEDEC standard) 32K RAM will work. You do not need a special battery backed variety. you also might have blown the 'hc373 chip, since that is part of the memory circuit. also check the 'hc132. hopefully the (...)

Greetings, Thanks to all who replied. I downloaded dlm.exe and a new copy of pcode and it worked with the -256 option. The old version of dlm which I had did not recognize the -256 option, and I think that was the root of the problem. Onward..... (...) (28 years ago, 6-Dec-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I was looking on the Handy Board web page instructions on howw to wire sensors and motors to the HB. I thought that the two smaller ends went to ground and the longer transmitter side with a 330ohm resistor went to the 5v port and the longer recever (...)

Hello, I made a terrible mistake. By mistake I connected the pos. side of the powerheader (10 V) to the middle row of the digital ports (Vccc ; 5 V , (if I'm not mistaking)). With this action I probably blew up (a) component(s) on my handyboard. I (...) (28 years ago, 6-Dec-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi Dave, can you try the DLM.EXE (not hbdl) program off the software resources web page? you will have to use the "-256" flag because it defaults to -512 for the e1 version of the 6811 which is probably not what you have. also, if you have windows (...)

Not a real systematic one -- that seemed to be enough to let motors blast away, but stop real damage from happening if the nicad pack got shorted out. remember, shorting nicads is a real hazard - 50 to 100 amps -- could almost start a car. -fred (...)
