 | | SPI port config???
|
|
Anyone.... This query pertains to the reconfig of the SPI on the HB done with a poke(0x1009, 0x3c) which turns the MISO, MOSI, SCK and SS into digital outputs. My question is: "What is the reverse poke if I wanted to turn the SPI back from digital (...) (28 years ago, 27-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Just because the motors are small dosn't mean they don't pull a big load. Both Adam Cox and myself have been working with the bulldozer kit (from the robot store) and have found they really heat up the motor driver chips (TI SN754410NE). We do (...)

check out www.robotstore.com and look under kits. There are gear kits and a bulldozer kit that I used two of for a robot. It is not too fast and it pulls a big load, doesn't pull much current (small motors). You might also try the manufacturers page (...) (28 years ago, 26-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: Analog ports....

I was aware that IR sensors can only give digital (on/off) information. Using analog ports will not give you any extra information. Perhaps the ON voltage level of your circuit is lower that 5V and that each of your sensor circuits differ in such a (...) (28 years ago, 26-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Bill is right, U8 is a '374. Peter, where exactly are you looking that you don't see U8 listed? It's there at (URL) post URLs if you're trying to help me maintain the site. Thanks. -Fred In your message you said: (...) (28 years ago, 26-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hello! I've started work on my Handy Board again, after a brief wait for the memory to arrive, and as soon as I plugged in the boad, I had a problem. I first noticed when I tried to put the board into bootstrap mode, as detailed at the end of (...) (28 years ago, 26-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I am not sure how significant this is but page 35 of the assembly instructions lists U8 as a 74HC374 and not a 74HC373 chip as the sender indicates. (...) William F. Conroy III conroyw@acm.org Lt Col, USAF (28 years ago, 26-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi Terry, I believe the transmitter circuit already include the 40Khz carrier. You need to write code to modulate the carrier with the low frequency of your information that you want to transmit too. You can do it with simple on/off at the lower (...) (28 years ago, 26-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

"You pass this way but once, do it right" (...) Exactly the problem. So I've kind of rigged my motor code to take care to create more than 7 speeds. For instance, by alternating between to levels of PWM very quickly you can fake more motor speed (...) (28 years ago, 26-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
