 | | Driving large motors with the Handyboard

|
Hi. I'm kinda new at this. I was wondering if anyone can help me answer this question. If I wish to drive large motors with a Handyboard, I understand that I have to use an h-bridge. Will I need to know anything about PWM before attempting this (...) (29 years ago, 23-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I have a few suggestions, these are all things that I have seen before to help reduce noise from motors I think that the problem might be due to crap getting back to the power line... thereby causing the DS1233 to say, time to reset... - try a (...)

| | OC2 and OC3 outputs?
|
|
Where on the v1.2 board do I tie into the OC2, OC3, and OC4 output lines? Is there a schematic which has all the I/O pins labeled? I need to use the OC lines to output pulse trains. Does the library software use these ports for the motor() commands? (...) (29 years ago, 23-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) I can't say that I have an explanation of why the motors would work at first and then cause problems later, but I can say that: Not all motors work with the Handy Board. In particular, motors that want to draw too much current (e.g., more than (...) (29 years ago, 22-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

What is the range of detection of the analog sensors? Are there discreet detection levels that the hendyboard can recognize? (29 years ago, 22-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Bad idea. A small difference in ref voltage will drive most of the current through one of the two. That's also why I believe that putting l293D in parallele is also a bad idea. In practice it seems that sometimes it works. It is just a bad design. (...) (29 years ago, 22-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I'm trying to use zener diodes to regulate the voltage being supplied to some motors I'm using with the handy board. I'm curious, though, can zener diodes be placed in parallel to handle more current? My understanding of their properties isn't (...) (29 years ago, 21-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I traced my reset problem down to the fact that there is a ton of electrical noise in the chip power (+5V). The noise is there only when motors are running. After a minute or so of running the motors, I'll get a runtime error or the board will just (...) (29 years ago, 21-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I would rather have use of the 0 to 8 range because many of the values in the 0 to 100 range simply fall into groups which give only 9 speeds. However, I do not support rewriting the IC code. Tom's suggestion, motor(1,value*14), is simple and meets (...) (29 years ago, 18-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
