  dual servos
 
Hello world, To richardv@abac.com, I am eagerly awaiting your results. To joe.doubek@privy.com, I'll keep you posted. So far I have gotten to the stage of pretty well ruling out input noise as the cause of twitching servos. I have almost identical (...) (28 years ago, 17-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: dual servos
 
I'm a newbie at this, but I just read yesterday on a web page that servos want a signal (20 ms = ?? degrees) every 50 milliseconds or so, and if you stop sending the signal, they "go limp" and don't "hold" position tightly, but are deenergized and (...)

  capacitor question
 
I was just wondering about this - are you supposed to heatsink capacitors when soldering? My gut feeling says "no", except that my ECE TA seems to disagree. Any thoughts on this? (Sorry, this doesn't have too much to do with the handy board - (...) (28 years ago, 16-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: power and servo
 
[problem 1: voltage on motor chips when no motor voltage applied] This is normal, because the motor chip INPUTS have +5v signals on them. These signals "bleed" into the motor chip power supplies. This isn't dangerous, but it isn't particularly good (...) (28 years ago, 16-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: (BrainDead)
 
Dear Jim, In your IC distribution, there should a file called servo.lis. Make sure you have it, and add the following line to lib_hb.lis: servo.lis The *.lis files are kind of like include files, and will cause IC to load any files listed in them. (...)

  HB ni-cad battery pack
 
I located a 9.6 volt 700 or 900 mah battery pack at Radio Shack and the one on the parts list is just 500 mah. My question is, will the charging circuit work ok with either of the above battery packs from Radio Shack? Thanks Bill Rose (28 years ago, 16-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  power and servo
 
Hi everyone, I've got two problems that I hope your combined expertise can solve. 1) I cut the trace connecting the the motors to the main board supply, so that I could power them independently (as per the instructions I found on the web).
