  stepper motors
 
Hi : I am looking for a stepper motor that works at 7V. I was wondering if any of you have used stepper motors for the handyboard or the Rug Warrior. If so, what model did you use and what was your selection criterion for the motors. Thanks. (26 years ago, 7-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: Two servos, one input ?
 
(...) Why do you want to have two servos doing exactly the same thing? Why can't you simply mechanically hook up the two things you want to drive the same way to a single servo? (26 years ago, 6-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Could IR ranging sensors be used with Rug Warrior board as well
 
(...) I designed and etched a small adapter board that interfaces three Sharp GPD05 and one GPD02 sensors with RW. It replaces the contact bump switches with the Sharp detectors by driving voltage followers to the level of the resistor ladder used (...) (26 years ago, 5-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
