My design team and I just recieved our Handy-Board. We plan on building an autonomous mobile robot that will run a search program and (hopefully) locate a 4" x 4" wooden(passive) block. The domain that it will search in is approx. 15' x 15'. We plan (...) (28 years ago, 18-Dec-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) I believe the predecessor to Java (known as "Oak") may have been designed for embedded systems. But last time I looked, a Java Virtual Machine took 8 MB of memory, which won't exactly fit into the HC11 address space :-) Really, if you want a (...)

It won't fit by a wide margin. I was part of the original Java team and when it was called 'Oak' it was designed to be as compact as possible with a kernel footprint at around 100K. (fit in a single 128KB eprom) But now that it is not just for (...) (28 years ago, 18-Dec-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Has anyone looked into putting JAVA on the Handyboard? I keep hearing that JAVA was originally designed for embedded systems and I am curious if it has the ability to live within the Handyboard's resources. Thanks ---...--- Lance Keashly Glenayre (...)

I haven't tried this on a handy board, I am using a miniboard, but I think the process is similar: not having a lot of time to figure out how to use dc motors with my miniboard (my project deadline was coming up fast) I decided to use step motors (...)

(...) I think that the Handy Board could be a good next step, depending on what you want to do with it. There are many similarities between the controller board discussed in "Mobile Robotics" and the Handy Board. Perhaps one of the more important (...)

Hello to all, I am a senior in High school and I would like to get into robotics. I bought "Mobile Robtics" and have read parts of it. Is the Handy Board a good place to start? I would really like to get into some AI later. Does anyone have any (...) (28 years ago, 17-Dec-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
