This weekend, I got my HandyBoard running! Everything went fine, exept that the pice of paper which was glued on my battery pack turned out to be a theft-protection: it contained a magnetic layer, which caused short-circuit, but after solving that, (...)

you can use the mobile robot programs as long as you make appropriate changes for where you have mounted the sensors and motors. fred (27 years ago, 7-Feb-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Tom, it seems that your routines measure frequency but Yoni wanted to count transitions. Yoni, the approach is similar to what Tom has done in that you must use the timer input channels to get high frequencies. In the TCTL2 register, set the input (...)

(...) Each diode loses 0.6v. The string of them drops the HB battery down from 9.6v to 6.0v, which is the specified operating voltage of the sonar unit. You can probably substitute 1N4001s. Fred (27 years ago, 6-Feb-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

It is straight-thru. Please note that if you are connecting from a 9-pin male PC port to the HB interface's 25-pin female, the means that you have the following mapping: DB-9 DB-25 2 3 3 2 5 7 In other words, the same cable as you would use to (...)

The encoder function pages say that for the fast encoder, the refresh rate is only 1 KHz. That is it can make only 1000 increments in a second.

Maarten -- Quickly I can make the guess that your local copy of PCODE_HB.S19 is corrupt. The fact that PCODER22.S19 works indicates there's nothing wrong with your board.
