 | | interfacing HB w/Mini-SSC
|
|
Fred (or anyone), I'm working with a group trying to interface Scott Edward's Mini-SSC II with the HB. By directly connecting the SSC to a computer and running a simple QBASIC program, we verified that the SSC works correctly when it receives proper (...)

|
|
Bill, If you use the windows IC you won't have this problem. As for the Dos version, I had the same problem, but never figured out how to either slow it down or pipe it to more. My suggestion, just use the windows IC. :) (27 years ago, 30-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | IC question
|
|
Is there a way to get IC to list a page worth of functions with the command: "list functions". Now that I have successfully communicated with the board, I am writing control code for it. I have the motor circuits under program control and am now (...) (27 years ago, 30-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Connecting a Sharp GP1U58Y
|
|
Hi. I'm trying to connect a Sharp GP1U58Y 38KHz IR detector to one of the analog inputs. The problem is that the device outputs a voltage and doesn't seem to be pull down transistor device so the internal 47K pullup seems to be messing it up. Any (...)

Hi, the parts list for the Handyboard doesn't list a part number for a ceramic resonator, only for an 8mHz crystal. Does anyone know the number for the substitute ceramic resonator? Thanks, Duncan (27 years ago, 28-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: Motor Driver Chips
|

The current still goes through the chip. 1 amp max. But now it will get more hot cuz you disipate more power accross the integrated transistors with the higher voltage. I think Fred mentioned that there was a thermal shutdown. (Is this true?) But I (...) (27 years ago, 28-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
