 | | Re: H-Bridge
|
| Hello François, HandyBoard group, We had a similar problem when we tried using an R/C model as a mobile base platform for our robot. Searching the net turned up the LMD18200 (3A, 55V H-Bridge) from National Semiconductors, which was suitable for (...) (27 years ago, 18-Mar-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

|
| Hello, I am also searching for a preassembled H-Bridge (12 Volt max 10 Amp in continuous mode). If anyone knows a good place to order one, I would be very interested. (We already tried to build the H-Bridge from Chuck Mac Manis but its components (...) (27 years ago, 18-Mar-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| It is clear to me that if i even attempted any work with construction and installation of a H Bridge for my handyboard it would be left a blackened, smoldering wreck. So this is my question.....is there any where to get a preassembled H-bridge from (...) (27 years ago, 18-Mar-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| I've built a few of his machines myself. The "Neural Net" is a 74ls244 set up as a shift register with RC networks between each stage. The walkers go forward ok, but can't turn or back up. Mark Tilden's very talented at mechanical design, though! (...) (27 years ago, 18-Mar-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| (...) According to my measurements, the flat flex cable that comes with the Polaroid kits is 1.25 mm (or 0.05"), so it would probably not be quite compatible with the parts that Digikey offers. I looked exhaustively through the Digikey offerings, (...) (27 years ago, 18-Mar-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| I didn't see the program, but I have an article my brother cut out of a newspaper and sent me, the guy's name is Mark Tilden, he makes all his robots out of old walkmans and pagers etc. I find his claims kind of hard to believe also. He has a (...) (27 years ago, 18-Mar-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

|
| sure, it will drain the battery, but if it's a low enough drain, you don't have to worry about it. for example if you have a 10 amp-hour battery, drawing .5 mA would take something like 830 days to drain it. I wouldn't worry too much. to calculate (...) (27 years ago, 18-Mar-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
