(...) Yep. You used the wrong phone cord between the HB and the serial interface board. Fred recently answered that question on this group, I'd direct you to the archives of this list but I don't know where that is. The phone cord, I *think*, is (...)

| | Re: charger board
|

It looks like your resistors are burned due to the short circuit between pin3 and pin4 of J10 on the charger board. I guess what you need is to replace those resistors (R11 and R12) and yellow LED, and the charger board will work again. Those (...) (27 years ago, 12-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hello all, I was charging my HB the other day, and suddenly, the two resistors right by the yellow "charge" LED on the serial interface ckt. went up in smoke. Has this happened to anyone else? Colby (27 years ago, 12-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

What is your application of the robot?
