Hello All, I have salvaged two modules from Polaroid cameras. My question is ... the pin outs on the control board for the "Spectra" has 17 straight in a line pin ins and the other module and board from a Autofocus 660 has 8 straight in a line pin (...)

Hi all, for designing reasons I wonder if anyone is using the Motor Power Header J13. Would anyone be pleased if we added an extra power connector to our expansionboard to supply J13 with more power ??? Thanks..... Tom (27 years ago, 8-Dec-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi all We at the TWI (School of engineering, www.twi.ch) in Switzerland are using the Handyboard for several projects. One of them is a model car with ultrasonic sensors and model servos. Because of some limitations of the Handyboard we have built a (...) (27 years ago, 8-Dec-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Thomas, We are using the HB to control an AstroFligt 50A controller. The controller comes standard with a 20K pot to vary the PWM signal. What I did as substitute the 20K pot with a DallasSimi DS1803 pot. Its a 14 (I think) dip package that uses I2C (...) (27 years ago, 8-Dec-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

We are building a mobile robot using the Handy Board and we desperately need help. To read into the sensors, we are programming using Interactive-C interupts. Would this be a good idea, and if so how do you do it as we are not quite sure. Are there (...) (27 years ago, 8-Dec-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

The phase difference seen by the sensors would be tiny at any practical frequency. Assume that you have the sensors a distance, D, apart and facing 'forward' on the robot. If there is a transmitting source at 90 degrees to the forward direction, the (...) (27 years ago, 8-Dec-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) I confirm what David is saying! Once i worked on some kind of beacon using an PLL to find its frequency (we used a lm567) and it couldn't work properly due to the response time of the PLL. An alternate solution was to replace the PLL by a (...) (27 years ago, 7-Dec-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi, I'm trying to do the Trinity College contest for my science project. I'm using IR reflectance sensors to navigate the walls. But when I tried with the candle the robot went haywire. I think it's due to the IR eminating from the candle. How can I (...) (27 years ago, 6-Dec-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
