Hi everybody, I'm experimenting with Kent Farnsworth's program for IR detection (files hb_ir.c and hb2_ir.icb). In Kent's program there is a function ir_counts(integer argument), where the argument can have the value 4, 5, 6 or 7. I've found that (...) (25 years ago, 11-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Haven't actually tried it, but I was thinking of the same sort of thing. Use a FET for PWM and a DPDT relay for direction. practically speaking, if you only switched the relay when the FET was off, no power transition, etc.... If your 'bot moves (...)
