 | | 3V motors

Mike, I had a similar problem and the solution is not to put a resistor in series with the motors. With the varying amount of current a motor draws, the voltage drop across the resistor will vary as well and the motors will not see a consistent 3V. (...)

Hi, I'm trying to get the ir output on the handy board to power more than 4 LEDs (need to power 6), anything beyond that the ir signals become drastically weak. I have these LEDs wired serially. I'm not too familiar with electronics, so is it (...) (27 years ago, 5-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Depends on what you want to accomplish. The LegoBug can use otpical sensors to follow a black tape and the smaller 'micro-motors' are better (less play) than the standard 9v motors. check out (URL) for instructions, ordering info and a price list.

| | ? mobile base for handyboard
|
|
Can anyone suggest mobile bases for the handyboard. I am looking for something which is reasonably priced and fairly easy to work with (for a "software" type!). Has anyone used the ARBE-ONE? LEGOBug? Thanks. David Naugler (27 years ago, 4-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
