Hi Jeremy, I have used a cable as long as 25 feet to connect between the handyboard and the PC. It seems to work alright for me, but the technician at school warned me that wasn't a good idea because TTL runs across the cable, and that's a bit too (...)

Bill, Why is everyone using a digital device to try to detect the (analogue) distance to an object? Especially one with AGC, it makes no sense!

(...) I have a few questions for you. How did you combine the 38khz and 500hz signal. In a design that I am working on now I have two signals similar to yours and an enable signal running into a three input AND gate. I haven't built it yet but it (...)

Adam, I think David meant something like this: |---|<|---|<|---|<|---| M+ ----x x----(motor)---- |---|>|---|>|---|>|---| | | M- ---...--- That way you have a voltage drop AND conduction in both directions. - Prabal (...) (28 years ago, 2-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

you can't power 2 servos from the hb's own +5v supply. get a separate 5v supply (linear regulated, *noT* a switching supply, OR batteries) and run your servo power from that. connect this external supply ground to the HB motor ground (on J13). -Fred (...)

Mar, This is what I've learned about the handyboard so far, and hopefully it will give you a little insight into what's going on with D0-D7 (the external bus).
