  Re: New Board problems with download
 
Hello, Thanks again for the help, but still i have problems getting the HB to talk to me. The com ports work, as the download led lights, and the boards does act different after a download.

  Infrared Sensors
 
A few weeks back I was a little dissapointed in the performance of the QT refective optosensors which come with the Handy Board because when using them on the digital inputs, their range was only 1/4 to 1/2 inch or less. Some people told me to use (...) (26 years ago, 25-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Servo w/ >180 travel?
 
Assuming you mean R/C model servos, take a look at the Futaba servos for sail boat winches. Stock Number Description Torque Speed Weight Dimensions FUTM0099 S5801 Sail Winch 136.0 oz. .5/turn 2.9 oz. 1.81 x 0.98 x 1.73 in. Looking at the spec sheet (...)

Do you know of any servos with 180 degree travel or more? 360 degrees of travel would be nice. Thanks Chad Humberstone EUCLID Mobile Robot Lab BYU (26 years ago, 25-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: stepper motors
 
(...) Its my code and you are quite right - it is not the best in the world. It was only intended to illustrate a point and I have done no more work on it since then - sorry.

  Re: New Board problems with download
 
Luc, it sounds like its not downloading at all. make sure the port you are using is not disconnected internally, such as when you are trying to use com2 and the internal modem is configured to use com2, usually com2 port is disconnected for external (...)

  Re: finally got the download working
 
From: Brett Anthony <anthonyb@ecs.csus.edu> (...) "slapped around", is that a term they teach at School of Engineering and Computer Science:-) I doubt if the problem is with the 68HC11. H/W and S/W usually work consistantly, as designed. Working (...) (26 years ago, 25-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: pyroelectric_sensor
 
If I'm not confused, I remeber seeing an article on pyroelectric sensors in the new magazine "Robot Science & Technology" (Someone please verify). It is still only up to it's premier issue so you can probably still request it. (URL) if the article I (...) (26 years ago, 25-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: finally got the download working
 
(...) <snip> I have had the same sort of problems; my guess is that the 68HC11 itself sometimes needs to be "slapped around" initially to properly initialize, and DL, full screen, seems to do it best.

  RE: serial port
 
I use the handyboard in the same way, and i need to say you, if you use dos can get more avaibility for the serial port, what under a seudo multitasking enviroment like windows 95.
