  Sharp Ir and Eltec 442 Pyro detector
 
Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone of you could help me. I'm trying to connect a hacked version of a Sharp GP1U58Y Ir detector(hacked so it is now analog instead of digital) to the HB so as I could use it for Ir Proximity sensing or distance (...)

  lib_r2.lis ?
 
IC can't seem to find: /usr/local/lib/ic/lib_r22.lis Is this important? Where is it (not anywhere on my box.) Thanks all. (26 years ago, 22-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Expansion Board Problem
 
Yes there are two four pin connector along the fornt edge of the expansion board that connect to J13 and J8 on HB, one 8 pin (2 rows of four) that connects to jumper J6 on the HB and one 10 pin that plugs into the expansion bus J3 on the HB. Hope (...) (26 years ago, 22-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Diodes for sonar don't cut it
 
I promised to update all you ultrasonic types on my progress (or lack thereof) in connecting two sonar modules to the HB. Well, I still haven't figured out if there's a way to connect two sonar module echo lines to the same TIC port on the HB. The (...) (26 years ago, 21-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Downloader for Unix
 
Where might I find the downloader program dl for Linux? I know it exsists, but cannot find it on the MIT/Handyboard site. Thanks. (26 years ago, 21-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re:
 
Will - - I'm also working on implementing multiple sonar sensors on the HandyBoard. My intention is to mount 4 transducers using Adam Cox's multiplexor. At present I'm struggling with the software attempting to reduce false readings and increase (...) (26 years ago, 21-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re:
 
(...) I'm still working out the best way to connect two sonar modules to the HB (using two complete module board/transducer sets). Both modules ping, but I'm getting signal contention with both echo lines connected to the same TIC port. Probably the (...) (26 years ago, 21-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Sonar Sensors
 
(...) I don't know much about electronics, but here are a few hardware questions that others have asked me: Can you verify that each sonar works ok all by itself? Are you using two separate sonar module boards, one for each transducer, or are you (...) (26 years ago, 21-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Expansion Board Problem
 
We assembled the HandyBoard ourselves and everything seemed to go great. However, the new set of analog inputs does not seem to be reading in values correctly. The input always seems to be stuck at 250 (The handyboards inputs still work fine.) I've (...) (26 years ago, 21-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: msleep function in ICC11?
 
Dear Ranjit, I do not know much about ICC11, but if you can get the system time using some function, you can write an empty loop using while{} or do{}while until the time delay is over. Yours sincerely, Nitin (...) (26 years ago, 21-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

See www-personal.engin.u.../~johannb/ for a detailed paper on EERUF (Error Eliminating Rapid Ultrasonic Firing).

  Re: IR output
 
You can connect an IR LED to it. Maybe you may need a series resistor to limit the current through it as well. Basically, the IR LED acts as a transmitter (the same round thing in front of your remote). The demodualator is not a transmitter...it is (...)

What type of IR component do I need to attach to the Handyboard to allow the IR output to function? Searching the FAQ and documentation only showed the connection circuit up to the point of the header strip. I assume it wouldn't be the same as the (...)
