Dear Sir, Iam getting started with my project. At our lab we are having freeware version of IC (version 2.8). We tried to install the commercial version 3.2, but we are facing some problems.

If money is not an issue, Mondo Tronix' Robot Store has variuos robot bases. One is large enough to hold a laptop and a great many sensors. --phil (26 years ago, 19-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

From the pictures, it seems that this is a vehicle called 'Hercules' (or something close). I have seen it at the FAO Schwarz store recently. I have no details on how the truck operates, though the details on the box indicated that it can raise and (...) (26 years ago, 19-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) A little off the wall, but would it simplify the sealing if you could pressurize the inside to something close to the pressure outside (equalize pressures). A miniature CO2 cartridge with a release valve may help. Mike (26 years ago, 19-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi: When I was in school, we built an autonomous mobile robot based on a six wheeled, 'electric ride-on toy' from Toys-R-Us. It had a sturdy metal frame, two nicely geared motors, a decent battery. It worked fairly well and could carry a large (...) (26 years ago, 19-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

it's in the faq, at (URL) you do is write to 0x4000, 0x5000, 0x6000 depending on whether your latch is attached to Y0, Y2, or Y4 (respectively). e.g., "poke(0x4000, 0xff);" will set all the bits of a latch attached to Y0 to 1.

Ok I've had another read of the FAQ, as well as a close look at the schematics for the handyboard and the expansion board. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I can use d0-d7 along with Y0 or similar and hook these into a HC374 to get some digital (...) (26 years ago, 18-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hello, I need help with the file types used by the handyboard. There are c, asm, icb, and lis files. How do I work with them?

If you put your motor in a sealed enclosure with the shaft coming into the enclosure you may be able to (...) (26 years ago, 17-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

You could do what they do for aquarium filter pumps -- use magnetic transfer. Put a bar type magnet on the motor shaft and put a similar magnet on a propeller just outside the hull where the motor is. Since propellers require low-torque it works (...)

(...) 200ft is about 7 ATM, roughly 103psi. Your're gonna need some really mean seals, and some serious current to turn motors within those seals. Lots more current than the 293's can handle. Probably easier to do what the big ROV's use. Take (...) (26 years ago, 16-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
