What is the easyest way to interface a Poloroid ranging board to the handyboard? I know that the expansion board is supposed to have this feature built right in but I can't wait to get it. I also want to know if there are any software drivers (...) (28 years ago, 11-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I need to create digital outputs and expand the number of digital inputs on my handyboard. I know that if you take the data lines and latch them using one of the outputs from the '138 you can accomplish this but I would like to see a schematic (...)

See the Handy Board Technical Documents page, linked off of the main page. It's the MC68hc11 reference manual. It's no longer free, but it's really inexpensive (like $2.50 per copy). This is a 200+ page book, extensive, in depth, and well written. (...) (28 years ago, 10-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Has anyone interfaced the HB to a PIC chip or other microcontroller without using the primary serial lines? I am wondering if maybe there was an I2C or SPI implementation done somewhere using digital outs. (28 years ago, 9-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
