I've found that alkaline batteries work well. I used it to power motors too and they seem to work fine. I tested a flashlight bulb and found that it drew 0.79 A at the rated voltage. So alkaline, D-cells at least, can handle the current. ---...--- (...) (28 years ago, 3-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I understand how a photoresistor that varies in restistance can be connected to the analog inputs. But what about the photelectric elements that generate voltages varying with light. (28 years ago, 3-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Anyone? I'm wondering if a 9V Alkaline battery could replace the battery pack in the HB. I'm merely going to use the 9V battery to power the HB and its memory. I'm not going to use any of the 5V-line supplied by the HB. In other words, all the (...) (28 years ago, 3-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Are you overlooking the obvious source of LCD panels - Timeline? I only mention this because it hasn't been mentioned in the postings. Timeline is listed on the Handy Board web site, and they are about the cheapest supplier. I got a bunch of (...) (28 years ago, 3-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Mar, The half carry (H) bit in the CCR sets if there is a carry from bit 3 to bit 4: in other words when there is a carry from the low hex digit to the high hex digit. Only the DAA instruction is affected by the state of H. For example: LDAA #$5A (...) (28 years ago, 3-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Yeah, it helps alot. Thanks. I guess the half-cary is for adding to the next significant 4 bit word. And the current word, including overflow, is then subtracted by ten (1010), if the half-carry is flaged, to yield the proper BCD word. Is this what (...)
