|

This can take a long time. Start by making sure that the cable is correct. You can do this by changing the Rx and Tx lines. If this does not help de Maxim serial driver can be faulty. Last check the solder joints.I once looked at them and could not (...) (26 years ago, 13-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: Wireless Handyboard Link ?

I obtained the RF wireless kit ( HP Series ) from Lynx Technologies a while ago, and I have not had any success yet. My guess is that the handyboard is unable to "Synchronize with the board" with the half- duplex communication provided by the kit. I (...) (26 years ago, 13-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Attached below is IC code for a GP2D02 rangefinder. This is a slightly enhanced version of code from Bjorn Astrand. My question relates to the use of TMSK1 in the code.

Russell, Just a suggestion from experience. Before you invest a lot of time developing hardware to expand the capability of the Handy Board, I suggest you write the program. Just "stub out" the motors you don't have with dummy subroutines, or for (...) (26 years ago, 13-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | The Onboard memory Circuit
|

I have some questions about the handyboard memory: 1) Does it matter if i use a 70ns Eprom instead of the 100ns one? 2) Can you use EEproms or FlashRoms instead of the Eprom ? 3) Can i use more memory than the 256 KB ? And is there a exchange (...) (26 years ago, 12-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Russ, This would not suffice. The PCODE would need to be changed as well. The end result of the motor interface routines in C in LIB_HB.C is that RAM locations 0x0E, and 0x22-0x25 have the direction and speed pattern info for each of the four (...)

I'm building a theory about how to make a 360 range finding system. It only needs to be accurate out to, say, a foot or 18 inches. basically it's a "before you bump" bump system. I've thought of using a series of IR emitters/detectors in a circular (...) (26 years ago, 11-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
