  Sockets for 18200
 
Does anyone know if there exists a socket for the National 18200. My application warrants the need to be able to replace the chips if they should ever fail. thanks for any information Patrick (28 years ago, 14-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hello everyone, I have been fiddling with my dual servo routines and I have gotten things running to the point that I now need a chassis for my project.

  Port E inputs
 
Hello, I noticed that in Figure B.9 on page 194 in Appendix B of the 6.270 manual that pins PE0-PE3 are shown to go to seperate little port symbols while pins PE4-PE7 go to a block labeled 'Analog Input Header'. Do these inputs really go to two (...) (28 years ago, 13-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  LM324
 
The latest expansion board schematic shows an LM324 for the high impedance input buffers. Although the LM324 is cheap and available, its input and output voltage ranges are limited to 0 to 3.5V (yes, probably a little more with any real part). If (...)

  is there a program
 
I am building a handyboard from the board up and i was wondering if a program exists that when the handyboard is programmed i can get it to run through a maze on my monitor, i can't afford a body right now thanks ted houle (28 years ago, 12-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: as11_ic
 
There are two fundamentally different ways to go about writing assembly language programs for the Handy Board: 1. Write them as callable functions for the Interactive C environment, using the as11_ic program. 2. Scrap Interactive C entirely, and (...) (28 years ago, 12-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: Signal Diode
 
The 1N4001 is the 50v version of a family of diodes (1N4001-1N4007) that cover 50 volts to 1000 volts. In general you could use any of the other versions. I would recommend looking for 1N4002(100v) or 1N4003(200v). As it happens Digikey says they (...) (28 years ago, 11-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: expansion board schematic posted
 
I vote for the 100mA 5V switch. Digital Outs seem to be quite the disired feature here amoung many. This 100mA capability also provides more options for people to use these signals.

  Re: expansion board/multiple sonar
 
It's actually a '374 or '373 for outputs. I guess you could use them for inputs too, but you're better off using a '244 for input. Or even a '574, '573, '541, these chips put inputs on one side and outputs on the other. Very convenient. Even (...) (28 years ago, 8-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
