| hello, i am having trouble conserving time in my IC code. i am using an analog() function, and a motor() function. does anyone know how long it takes to execute these functions? also, do the encoder functions that are posted on the website take much (...)

| To convert from 0-3 to 0-5 I would suspect that all you need is a 2N2222 NPN transistor with a couple of resistors to bias it. For example: +5volts 100 ohm resistor collector ---...---0-5 input 0-3v output -----1k resistor ----- base emitter 0volts (...)   (27 years ago, 30-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| I have a device that uses 0 - 3V logic levels for the data output. What can I do to convert the output to match the 68HC11's 0 - 5V logic level? Thanks for the help, Dave    (27 years ago, 30-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| jameco (www.jameco.com) has several new gear head motors in the 3-12v range with various gear ratios.

| Hugo Robertson: One of the nice things about the 68HC11 chip is its well rounded timming system. Grab your Handy board Technical reference manual and have a look at page 48. PA0-3 are "Input Capture" pins. When the logic level changes (according to (...)   (27 years ago, 30-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
