Hi! I just unpacked my new Handy Board and tried some stuff I found in the IC manual. What can you say about the following error? C> load sony-ir.icb Loading sony-ir.icb.

Hi Jeff, The Polaroid sensors work pretty darn well. I've been able to get 1" resolution from 8" to 130"++ (reportedly they work to 35 ft - my room's not big enough to try this out). I was able to get mine working in about 10 minutes. Basically, (...) (28 years ago, 29-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | excessive motor current?
|
|
I just managed to convert a Cat D10 toy into a robot. In doing so, I've converted the power source for its motors from Alkaline to NiCads.

(...) I don't know if this is really the best way to do it, but I hacked this up real quick for a previous project. You put the stuff you want to time inside the loop. It will print out the numer of times the loop executes per second. The display is (...) (28 years ago, 27-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

How do you time a running process? I would like to prune the running time of a part of my IC program running in the HandyBoard, to improve the response of my sensor testing. I assume you could set a clock and then sample it later but I am a little (...) (28 years ago, 27-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Ok, I got it. Apparently my service provider wasn't keeping any of my mail, so I didn't get any of your first responses to my question. Anyway, thanks to all of you for replying a second time. Patrick (28 years ago, 26-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
