  IR connection
 
Hello, I attached a Radio Shack IR emittter / detector to the handyboard to cure my touch sensor faults I'm using the Legobug. The problem is that chair legs fit between the sensors and don't trigger the switches. The IR sensors are mounted on the (...) (27 years ago, 10-Jul-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Corrupted or Invalid Pcode?
 
I have been using the Handyboard successfully for over 6 months. Recently I've decided to mount it on my robot base. After all the dust settled last night, I powered up the Handyboard.

  Re: Mars rover
 
(...) Well, the wheels are each driven independently by an internal motor. The rocker-bogie suspension is self-evident, but of course it works best if the wheel and motor sit out at the ends of the suspension. That means six motors. (...) I haven't (...)

  RE: Mars rover
 
just attack it with legos.... once you figure it out with legos, it's pretty easy... having looked at it my self... i would assume that only one of the wheels (per side) or all are driven, but the suspension system is very simplistic... infact, i (...)

  Mars rover
 
Having seen pictures of the Mars rover I am intrigued as to the mechanics of it. Does anyone know of where to get any details of such things as drive system and suspension. I don't have a few million dollars to make one but there may be some useful (...) (27 years ago, 7-Jul-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: voice synthesis
 
(...) This is the text-2-speech chip, but it doesn't include the allophone synthesizer (SP0256) so unless you have an allophone synthesizer this won't do you much good. --Chuck (27 years ago, 7-Jul-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
