Hi- I'd like to separate my display from my handyboard and wire it via ribbon wire so I can view it remotely. Can I do this? How far away can I have the display from the board until it is unable to fully transmit a signal? Thanks, Mike Degon (28 years ago, 31-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I've got this old Radio Shack RC car that I want to use as a chassis for the HB I'm building. It is the same type car that the Mobot Lab used to build Tom and Jerry. I no longer have the box and I ripped the RC board out of it long ago. How can I (...) (28 years ago, 30-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

For the HB, when do you draw 500mA? When you put the interface on "Zap Charge", do you lower the voltage less that 12V? What about when you "trickle" it? Hihger that 12V? (...) (28 years ago, 29-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

this is correct. normal dc adapters are unregulated and there is a reciprocal relation between voltage and current. when you just plug it in and and measure voltage, current is 0 and hence voltage is higher than the spec. if you draw the rated 500 (...)

Oh, you hardware guys must really hate us software guys but...

Keith Check the HB home page. Fred posted my info for a H-bridge that will handle two 12V-55V motors at 3A each. I know it's not exactly a custom bridge, but you can make the PCB from scratch. The LMD18200 from National makes this really easy. (...) (28 years ago, 28-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

You should be able to "piggy back" two motor driver chips. The normal ones for the HB are capable of about 1Amp or .6Amp. Use another 1Amp chip and you should be able to source 1.5Amps. Although, I imagine that using identical chips would be (...) (28 years ago, 28-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
