  Re: blowing analog inputs [was: Battery Level Indicator]
 
(...) this isn't right, so i feel the need to correct you. the hc11's analog inputs are sensitive; i have seen many of them destroyed (on a pin-by-pin basis), and voltages above 5v or below 0v are the cause). more accurately, it's not the voltage (...)

  ROVER
 
Dear Mr Fred Martin/friends, We have run into some strange problems.Whenever we download the pcode_hb.s19 to the handy board using dl.exe we first get it is loading bootstrap program then the pcode.It shows the loading by a series of dots and (...)

  Re: Douglas Electronics Expansion Board
 
We have revised the Handy Board Expansion Board Kit documentation to refer to the information on the Handy Board website. Tom Brusehaver is correct in his post that the J11 flex cable connector is not included in the kit as it is supplied with the (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Dual Coaxial power jacks?
 
I am new to the Handy board and Mine is in the starting phases of construction. I would like to ask the more experienced roboticist. 1. Why is there a power jack on both the Handy board and the charger? does the Interface need power? and if there is (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi John, I am interested in your handyboard ! I'm curious, when you say your board only has one motor chip is that something you added on or does that mean it only has one of the four outputs for DC motors, that usually comes with the board. Or does (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Battery Level Indicator
 
(...) When I first got my HC11EVB I ran 12V straight into the E port (one of the pins), and was sure I ruined the chip. I called the tech support person at motorola, and he said 12V on a A/D port should be no problem. Sure enough it all still (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Battery Level Indicator
 
1. yes, you probably killed your analog 5. the analog inputs are very sensitive to over voltage. if your ran more than +5v directly into the input, you probably killed it. next time you're playing with funky voltages, put a 5K resistor in series (...)

Hello, What is wrong here? Just type: IC> 100L/67L Illegal type given to /: <long> / <long> Why am I not allowed to divide two long numbers ? Rien (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  A fast light sensor?
 
Ummm, Hi all I'm looking for a circuit that will interface a photo transistor or a photo diode to a digital input. I tried a photocell in an analog port but it's too slow, I want to use a *visible* light pulse as an accurate trigger: ie. input (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Battery Level Indicator
 
I have been playing around with trying to make a battery indicator on my Handy Board. I did find the below diagram from a earlier posting in March of 98.

  Sharp GP2D05
 
I would like to use the Sharp GP2D05 infrared detection module with HandyBoard. Any hints/suggestions/clues will be highly appreciated. I'm from the PIC generation and am a newbie to the HB and the 68HC11 Thanks in advance, Ranjit (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  IC
 
Dear Mr Fred Martin/friends, Thank you for giving the site of the new library files.We started IC properly today.It gave NO 'synchronizing with board' errors. We input 1 + 2; and it gave the proper result.However when 123 * 2; was entered at the C> (...) (26 years ago, 19-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Java on Handy Board?
 
Handy-folk, I recently discovered that there is an experimental version of Java for the 68HC11 microcontroller. Cool! It has been in field testing since June, and looks promising. The developers tell me that a beta version should be released in a (...) (26 years ago, 19-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: IC
 
i am unable to reproduce the problem. perhaps comms between IC and your board are still unreliable. try writing a program that repeatedly prints to the LCD screen the result of 123 * 2. my guess is that it will work perfectly. also, make sure you (...)

  Re: digital and analog port on HD
 
I remember the Basic Stamp "POT" command which is used to read the position of a pot using a digital port. The Basic Stamps are made from PIC microcontrollers and the digital ports are bidirectional. That is they may be used as digital inputs or (...) (26 years ago, 19-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
