Justin, Thanks for your reply. I assume you had one process doing the PID in a tight loop, and then had other concurrent processes doing other tasks. Was there ever a problem with the PID process not getting scheduled within the 1Khz system (...) (26 years ago, 4-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi, We are trying to transmit our voices to our remote robot to create the impression that the robot is talking. In addition, we want to be able to hear what the robot hears. Does anyone know any products that we can attach to our robot that will (...) (26 years ago, 4-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Thanks for the advice on the ouput compare and portA. What I realized was the CPU time is being shared by some many functions, like the LCD printing, IR, PWM, that I'm not getting a fast enough pulse from the motor ports. I disabled a lot of these (...)

Hi all, The motor(x,y) function in the lib_hb.c file works as expected (the motor speed does vary depending on value given and the correct motor goes on), but when I actually have a motor in the header both LEDs go on!

The Polaroid Sonar board requires a supply voltage less than 7 volts. The battery of the handy board is around 12, so you'll probably shorten the life of your sonar board considerably if you connect it straight in (i.e. burn it up :.)). The diodes (...)

(...) The battery for the handy board is a 9.6V cell (8 * 1.2V cells in series.) A normal 1n400X diode will drop 0.7V each. (6 * 0.7 = 4.2) 9.6 - 4.2 = 5.4V (26 years ago, 3-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I'don't even bother using diodes at all I just use a 7805 voltage regulator that is well heat sinked and never had a problem with it -----Original Message----- From: ruizvic@mx1.ibm.com <ruizvic@mx1.ibm.com> To: handyboard@media.mit.edu (...) (26 years ago, 3-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) I haven't used the transducer multiplexor myself; I decided to just hook up a second sonar module to the HB in the same manner as the first is hooked up. It looks like using the multiplexor ought to be fairly simple, though. First off, in the (...) (26 years ago, 3-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi to all, I would like to know what difference there are if I connect the 6 diodes between the Handy Board & the Polaroid Sonar Card. Can I connect the cards without diodes?

Hello, I am writing PID code that runs on the system interrupt. I am finding that I have to rewrite alot of the great math functionality available through IC. Does anyone know of a way to use an IC function on a regular system interrupt schedule? (...) (26 years ago, 3-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
