  Re: icb fixed in IC 3.1
 
(...) Guess it comes from trying to earn a living selling software :) At any rate, I had seen the workaround for free IC posted several times in the past week, so I thought I would add rather than repeat information. Sorry for the self-serving (...) (29 years ago, 27-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  problems with ICB files
 
oh come on, Randy, you're acting too much like a big software company! "Don't worry that that feature is broken, it will be fixed in our new version!"Most of the time, people would rather hear a workaround than be told to upgrade! Regarding the (...)

  .icb files
 
(...) I'd recommend moving up to IC 3.1. The current Windows and UNIX beta versions of IC 3.1 should accept .s19 files with any newline convention (CR, LF, CR-LF). (We're fixing that in the Mac IC beta soon). If you do get "illegal line in .s19" in (...) (29 years ago, 26-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Sony IR decoding routine!
 
I downloaded the source code sony-ir.asm and assembled with asii_ic.bat and the resulting .icb file worked fine. I jumped the gun asking for help. Thanks any way. Ram. I'm having trouble getting sony-ir.icb to load. Every time I try, I get the (...) (29 years ago, 26-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  pneumatic arms
 
Since electric motors running off small, mobile power supplies tend to be weak and slow, I was considering designing a pneumatic arm powered by an onboard container of compressed air. Can anyone tell me where I can obtain pneumatic solenoids (...) (29 years ago, 26-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  process control question
 
Hi all, I used the routines in Mobile Robot as a guide in building routines for my robot. I have an IR detector setup like the one described using the Sharp detector to detect left and right obstacles. I have a round robot with three bumper switches (...)

  How to run 8 servos by adding one HC chip
 
(...) Warning: I haven't tried the following idea. Single chip add-on to control 8 servos using one timer line and a few digital outputs: The 74HC238 is a 3 to 8 demultiplexor. (see (URL) for datasheets). Unlike the more common HC138, its outputs (...) (29 years ago, 26-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: pulse trains
 
(...) I'm doing signal conditioning for pan/tilt and (ultimately) drive/steer signals from an RC receiver and driving servos with the processed signals. All power for the servos is external, so all I need is signals through the Handyboard. -mike * (...) (29 years ago, 25-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: Driving large motors with the Handyboard
 
(...) Thanks for the tip. I got a hold of the book and read some of it. :) I was wondering if sending pulses to the motor would cause "choppy" rotation....or does it occur so fast that inertia effects make it "smooth". Also, with an h-bridge, is it (...) (29 years ago, 25-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  pulse trains
 
Mike, Out of curiosity, what are you using the pulse trains for? (If you're running multiple servos, I think I know a single-chip hardware mod to drive up to 8 servos from a single timer output.) -- Randy (29 years ago, 24-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  TOC 2 & 3
 
AAAARRRGGGHHHHHH!! After the pain of relearning assembler and getting interrupt routines to work, it seems my assumption of the availability of TOC 2 & 3 is incorrect. I need 2 (wanted 4) pulse trains to go out. According to the diagrams Fred (...) (29 years ago, 24-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: OC2 and OC3 outputs?
 
Take a look at the schematics, which are linked from the top page of the Handy Board web site. The info you are looking for is in the CPU / memory schematic. For the DC Motor outputs, the board uses a separate output latch---not the timer outputs. (...) (29 years ago, 24-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  DC Motor Position control
 
I am wondering if anyone tried to write an IC program for DC motor position control using PID/P or whatever with a handyboard. I am also looking for a good precision DC motor (with encoder and gearbox integrated), I very appreciate your help for any (...) (29 years ago, 24-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
