You get 4 SPI output digital ports in the HB. Read the section in the FAQ about the HB's digital outputs. These 4 can be used to select your transducer. You can pull one motor driver chip and get 2 more digital outputs. Kent has routines that uses (...) (27 years ago, 3-Mar-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) I notice that Adam's circuit uses all 4 available SCI outputs to select the transducer, but the sonar board itself requires two of them already. Why not just get a 2-to-4 line demultiplexor, and use the remaining 2 SCI outputs to select the (...) (27 years ago, 2-Mar-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

To each individual output of the multiplex, wire the power to one (...) (27 years ago, 2-Mar-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I have a question for you, how much does the compass deviate when the motors turn on. As an ex-sailor, one of the major consideration in using magnetic compasses is deviation, and on a small bot, the deviation would vary due to the changing (...)

(...) Make sure you don't have any bright light shining down on your board. Too much light saturates the sensor and you get 0 or 255 all the time.
