Ok, after reading it for the nth time, I think I understand this statement now: <<The normally open case means that the sensor line is pulled high by the 47K resistor on the Handy Board. The standard software for reading the state of a switch (...) (28 years ago, 6-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

RS part number: 311-007 Toshiba TC55257DPI, 265-465 NEC uPD43256. 68HC11 - The (...) (28 years ago, 6-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

The PLCC version of the 68HC11 is the one that you want. The part number from R.S. is 265-853 and in the July 97 - October 97 catalog it cost 7.50 pounds + VAT. This price has no doubt increased but the stock number should be correct. The 32K RAM I (...) (28 years ago, 6-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

the "correct" way is to measure their resistance with an ohmmeter. if it's less than 5 ohms, it might be a problem. the "other" way is to just plug them in and turn on the motor outputs. as long as you use full power (not any of the software-reduced (...)

Greetings! I need a "good" sample of how to do serial i/o between the Handy Board and a host computer. The host computer I am intereested in is running MACOS (8.X).

I have been using an Elsema transceiver coupled with an FSK modem chip. (...) (28 years ago, 5-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
