How is the beta-test of the expansion interface progressing? Anybody care to estimate when the design might be finalized so I could purchase one? How much would a kit be expected to cost? \---...---\ \ John Mathews jkm@po.cwru.edu \ \---...---\ (29 years ago, 2-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Using the handyboard, can we drive a DC-motor which has a nominal voltage of 26 volt, (the starting current is less than 600mA). Thanx. Hachemi. (29 years ago, 2-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) A really wild/money is almost no object idea would be to get electronic speed controls from radio controlled cars. These things can control up to several tens of amps continuously. You can control them like controlling a servo. Their cost is (...) (29 years ago, 1-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) There aren't any control electronics to this thing at all, really. There's four switches on the control box, some wires going to the vehicle, and four motor/gearbox combos in the machine that the wires supply power to. No drivers, no heat (...)

| | hooking up to R/C car
|
|
(...) We've had success interfacing digital signals directly to the drive circuitry that's already present on some R/C vehicles. The problem you're running into is that R/C motors just draw too much current for 293's. (If you look at the controller (...) (29 years ago, 1-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Today I ran out to Toys 'R' Us and bought a wired-remote controlled excavator to serve as the base for my HandyBoard. It seems to be causing me a little problem, though. Before I removed it from the controller that contained the battery (...) (29 years ago, 1-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: 600 mA
|
|
Note that the spec sheet for the L293D states that the package can only dissipate 5 watts. With a voltage drop of 1.3 volts that is 3.85 amps total through all drivers. However, since that is the absolute maximum rating your probably looking more (...) (29 years ago, 30-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
