 | | tracking an IR beacon
|
|
Hello all - My goal: I'm trying to determine the feasibility of tracking an IR source with my Handy Board. My initial scheme calls for using two IR detectors (the ones with all the internal filters, etc, to provide a clean 5V output upon detection (...)

Hi Does anyone know where to get the pcode source for IC 3.1 ? If I can get my hands on a copy it shouldn't be too difficult to work the new PWM routines into it.... Thanks Scott (27 years ago, 4-Dec-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi. This evidence pretty conclusively points to a power-ground short on your board.
