Regarding your problem with the jack on the serial line getting hot and melting (uh oh), I believe it is because the HB and Mini-SSC serial lines aren't quite compatable. If you're lucky, you might be getting data through (random coincidence?), but (...) (27 years ago, 23-Jul-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Servos work well, but are constrained to relatively light robots (less thana three pounds. You can use them on heavier robots if you install a bearing axle for the wheels and just use the servo to drive the wheel. Basically the servo wasn't (...)

hello, Yall! I'm trying to find a good source for motors, but to no avail.Has anyone tried using modified servos, as described in 'mobile robots'(Jones and Flynn)?

Does anybody know if it is possible to get the Handyboard in kit form or assembled in the UK. The problem with ordering from the USA is that customs charge taxes/duty on goods over ?145 ($237 approx.) which increases the cost. Thanks in advance for (...)

Jeff, I used a couple of the 10mV/deg Kelvin ones, with nothing more than the current load resistor, ie no amplification at all. For example, freezing point = zero celcius = 273 Kelvin = 2.73 volts. With the 6811 resolution of about 20 mV (5v / (...) (27 years ago, 22-Jul-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

This may sound like a dumb question, but I don't know where to get headers. Digi Key has some but 4 different kinds. The parts list says nothing except 14 pin female header. Nothing else.

Chuck: I agree with you; what I've done with the MiniSSC is to break the path into a set of linear segments with via points in joint space.
