Would someone be able to tell me whether the analogue inputs on the HB are sensitive only to voltage or to current.I would also like to know whether or not I could recieve sensor input on more than one analogue input simultaneously and make the HB (...)

If you go to the following link: ftp://cher.media.mit.../cmcmanis/ You will find a file called ir.tar.Z which describes some software I wrote for a PIC chip that drove several LEDs and monitored three IR sensors (Sharp 1SU60s but could have as (...)

(...) Try running the two-servo code, but unplugging each of the two servos, in turn. One servo plugged in to the two servo code should narrow down whether this is a software or power problem. If it only jitters when both are plugged in, I'd (...) (28 years ago, 17-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

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)

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 (...)

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?

[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)

Hello Everyone, I have had absolutely no luck in getting a IR Demodulator for my HB. I have tried every source given on this sight and even more. Can anyone help me to locate this part? Sharp (IS1U60) Having No Luck! Bill Rose (28 years ago, 16-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
