Hi Jeremy, Question: Do you use 30V for your Motor ? (external) IF NO: I´m testing several Motors from copier-machines (12V-24V) with my HB. Some motors didn´t work properly with PWM. For example Motor 24V I´m using ist with for 12V Motor (0,100) (...) (26 years ago, 18-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

yes, memory wires should be oscillating, back and forth betw 0 and 5 volts. this is not floating; floating implies not connected. re: your other DL probs, usually, it is a bad connection on the PCB. try continuity checks on the memory subsystem.

i am sorry, but i have never readied that software. to debug, use a logic probe and check all of the 28 pins of the RAM chip. address, data, and enable lines should be flashing when the HB is turned on. if you see a line stuck at 0 or 1 that might (...)
