I have a question about the expansion interface. If it is decided upon the 1Amp 9V transistors...would it be a problem for the HB's 1Amp Voltage regulator or the fuse? (27 years ago, 15-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hey all, I'm looking for some ideas on sensors and algorithms for a line following robot (black tape on white floor). If any of you have had some luck at this or know where I can find some info please let me know. Thanks Rajesh (27 years ago, 15-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

If I'm not mistaken, (someone please corect) those speeds represent the actual shape of the waveform. Let's list some details. 1. Each bit 0 or 1 represents 0V or 9.6V. (or whatever external source) 2. Each bit represents the above voltage for a (...) (27 years ago, 15-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Postscript files are generally for printing out. Therefore, you send a postscript file to a "postscript printer". Most HP Laser Jets are. Otherwise, you can use a program called GhostView.
