hello can someone please tell me what does the following command line mean? bit_set(0x0e, 1 << (4 + motor)); i know that 0x0e refers to memory location $0E but how does bit_set work? is it similar to poke? and more importantly, what operation does (...)

Hi Ronald! Ok - my HB is working now. I got the right 1233-10 (10 means 10% of 5v - reset is going up on 4.5v). This seem to work better. Second thing is the 350ms delay seem to be necessary in normal reset. The second thing was that the power (...) (26 years ago, 31-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

hi, I noticed that the picture of the HB in the Web page is slight different from mine. There is no thick trace on my HB to be cut. However, the HB in the web page has a thick trace on it ? My version of the board is 1995, Fred Martin. Please help. (...) (26 years ago, 31-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) The dual sonar interface board is simply a small (1.5" sq. or so) experimenter's PC board from Ripoff Shack with the six power diodes, the one resistor, and three header plugs soldered onto it. One plug goes to the HB and the other two go to (...) (26 years ago, 30-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

phillip: Pine 8 for the L293D is "Motor Power." There are two ways to get to this. 1) Pull the chip from the socket, lift the pin so it points straight up, then wire-wrap a new supply wire to this pin. Or scratch the trace leading to pin 8 U11 and (...) (26 years ago, 30-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I just finished adding the motor output circuit to my HB. I have built and tested the interface board. I connected the interface board to the HB to download the test code to test the HB and I keep getting the "wrong port or board mode" error. Not (...)

Transmission and reception of IR data is quite different from using IR just to bounce it off obstacles to detect their presence. To exchange data with IR you will almost certainly have to use interrupt driven assembler code which can be very (...) (26 years ago, 30-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
