I was getting the exact same result when I ran motors with the HB while using my sonar. The problem was that there was alot of noise caused by my motors...apparently electrical and EMI. Do you have alot of components that may be causing some noise (...) (27 years ago, 22-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi Gordon, When you mentioned about "doesn't have a ground in it", are you refering to the part the drives the LEDs, right ? If so, the explaination of the circuit is that when the output of the inverter that connected to a 100 ohm register goes low (...) (27 years ago, 22-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Help! I've purchased the Polaroid Sonar OEM kit, plugged them in in accordance to Kent's instructions and using his software, but if I plug in BINH through a 360 Ohm resistor or with no resisitor, all I get is 1 - 2". If I unplug it, I get (...) (27 years ago, 22-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi All, Had anyone actually built the Infared LED emitter circuit that is on the Rug Warrior? (i.e. pg 108 of Chapter 5 of the book "Mobile Robots" by Jones and Flynn). I've looked at it and I can't for the life of me figure out how it works. Before (...) (27 years ago, 22-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Mike, I would also recommend the book: "Electronics (A Self-teaching guide)" by Harry Kybett (1986 by John Willey & Sons) ISBN 0-471-00916-4. It is a very excellent beginning text. It teaches concepts and then you self test yourself every 2-3 (...) (27 years ago, 22-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Thanks. I tries that. I even tried to use four of them in parralel. OK, here's what I've discovered...just to let you all in on it and maybe it'll help someone in the future. I pulled the leads from the motor header and powered the motors directly (...) (27 years ago, 21-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I'm planning to hook a Vector 2X digital compass to my HandBoard. I'm looking for any code for such and interface. It should be simple SPI stuff but I've never messed with the SPI before and would rather not re-invent the wheel. I've checked the web (...) (27 years ago, 21-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
