| I used the one available IR LED driver on the HB to drive a Radio Shack high-output IR LED. This, along with a Radio Shack IR decoder module (a little silver box about the size of a sugar cube that takes +5vdc and ground, and outputs a TTL level (...)

| (...) how did you take this measurement exactly? I think 75 mA might be kind of low, most motors will draw this much when they are just spinning but doing no useful work, but then draw much more when they are driving a geartrain. (...) actually, (...) (28 years ago, 14-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| Yesterday I tried to run a motor out of the HB. First I tried how much current it needed with a multimeter and a 5V power source ... The result 75mA. When I tried to run the motor from the HB, after turning on the motor at low speed (motor (0,20);) (...) (28 years ago, 14-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| (...) I've got a PIC chip programmed with IR collision-detection built into it (I'm trying to get some of the new 8 pin PICs to see if I can make an "all in one" unit. Basically the interface is two bits: bit 0 output - Turn on IR illumination (...) (28 years ago, 14-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| Fred, It seems to me that the first thing most people want to add to their robots that is not supported on the handyboard itself, is IR collission detection. How about including a modulator and driver for IR LED's, and a detector and demodulator (...) (28 years ago, 14-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
