Hi! I got to do some test multi servo-motors. I found out the expansion board is not available yet. When will it be available from vendors? I can make a simple test by using #9 digi-input though. best Regards, Mark Kim (27 years ago, 4-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi, A few students here at Penn State Abington successfully controlled the Zig-Zag using a 6270 board with both a 6volt and 9.6 volt supply using a .5 or 1 ohm series resistor. If I remember correctly the current is in the 2 amp range when loaded. (...) (27 years ago, 4-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hello All, I have just purchased a new TYCO 9.6V Zig Zag car. It seems to have a fairly good base w/treads. I connected it to the handyboard (after gutting it and extending the wires ).

Well, further experimentation revealed that the chips are working, but with a quirk: If the the input of the '232 (pin 10) is tied to ground (pin 15), then the output (pin 7 of the '232, or pin 3 of J9) goes to the expected value of ~+10 volts. If, (...) (27 years ago, 1-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
