Can the HB measure encoder pulses faster than 1 kHz? (this is the speed of the system interrupt) Assume we have an encoder that does 500 pulses per revolution.

Did you destroy the battery pack? There is an embedded temperature fuse that will blow if you try to charge it too fast or accidently short the battery. With no power applied have a look at the voltage on the battery terminals (you can get to them (...) (25 years ago, 6-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hey, Two weeks before we present our project and the HandyBoard got fried!!! Ahhh! Oh well, hopefully someone can help us identify the problem.

It looks like at least three of us were playing with gcc-2.8.1 over the weekend. The GCC Miniboard library is now mostly ported over to the Handyboard, and the ICC11 LCD routines are almost done being ported over. I couldn't test out the motor (...)

Are there any tools for programming the E9/E1 config registers from Linux or NT?

I have a Rug Warrior fitted with the Polaroid 6500 sonar, and a Handy Board that uses the GP2D02 sensor. Both applications use a servo for aiming. On the Handy Board site, the libraries have been altered to support the GP2D02, but I did my own (...) (25 years ago, 5-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

The idea behind a reactive (behavior based) architecture of a Rug Warrior robot is essentially stateless. You may want to add some kind of schedule or activation layer (process ) that enables the low level behaviors based on some type of state or (...)

I am using the handyboard from Gleason Research. It works very well. Only problem is there is no obvious way to mount it rigidly into a robot. No mounting holes or brackets. What have others done? -Matt Grob (25 years ago, 5-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
