(...) Actually, the frequency is somewhat important. The faster you switch, the more power will be lost to the switching of the power transistors and the filtering effect provided by the inductance of the motor. At the other extreme, frequencies (...)

I have a 266 G3 minitower, and I have the identical problem. The only way to solve this is to let IC die, not reset the HB and then run IC again. It complains to can't talk to the HB, and then I reset the HB and all works fine. Kinda odd, but it (...) (26 years ago, 4-May-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Jaron, (...) This was done (obviously) to save extra decoding circuitry needed on the board. That is, if the handy board needed to assign (say) 7000 as the motor then sixteen address lines need to be decoded (binary 0111 000 000 000). Yet with the (...)
