(...) Our robot worked well with a dual 555 timer. 38KHz for the IR and combined with a 500 Hz square wave. When the square wave was high, 38K was on, making it a 50% duty cycle transmission. As I understand the receiver circuitry, it was tuned to (...) (28 years ago, 28-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Communicating through serial port
|

Hi, I am trying to use the my handy board to communicate with an application on my computer by passing integers through the serial port. From my understanding, a binary subroutine must be called to access the serial port. Is this true? If so, why? (...) (28 years ago, 28-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Does the HB have demodulationg circuitry? According to the diagrams, the Sharp IS1U60 is connected to TIC1 on the HC11. Does this mean that the HC11 is doing the demodulation? Is the Sharp IS1U60 an IR demodulator, or simply and IR receiver? I (...) (28 years ago, 28-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

In your message you said: (...) main purpose: allowing HB's to transmit IR codes that can be rec'd by other HB's or circuits. example -> let an HB run an IR beacon that can be found by another HB. sub-purpose: run IR transmitters for reflective IR (...)

(...) The handyboard consists of an IR transmitter and detector circuits. The purpose of the transmitter (when connected thru the infrared LED) is to produce infrared light waves at particular frequencies. This frequency is controlled by R4 and C6 (...)

What was/is the purpose of the IR Subsystem on the Handy board. What is the difference between the Sharp Demodulator and the one you get from Radio Shack. How do you use the onboard IR demodulator as a digital input. Are there different kinds of IR (...) (28 years ago, 27-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Thanks for the information. By the way, does the LCD output work the same way the parallel port on a P.C. Does? On a P.C., I believe it outputs like this: 1) out the coding for the letter in 1's and 0's in 8 positions (binary) 2) a line (I believe (...) (28 years ago, 27-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi Adam, I am not certain by poking the register 0x1009 (or DDRD reg) alone could provide the clean work. The function of this register is also depending on SPE bit in the register 0x1028 (or SPCR) according to the manual. I believe you could (...) (28 years ago, 27-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
