(...) Yes, you are right. I choose gp2d12 mainly because - I have so many code to load to the board. With this, I don't need to load the .icb file that goes with the gp2d02, instead use the analog() commands directly to get the distance. But be sure (...)

If you connect the batteries in parallel you will increase the current which is something i'm not sure you want to do. if you connect them in series it will increase the voltage which is what i believe you would like to do. the problem comes because (...)

I was looking at that this weekend.

the main reason this doesn't work is the 1a supply produces too high a voltage at the actual current being drawn, resulting too high a charge rate. technically, it will work in NORMAL charge mode, but you'll be charging the battery too fast, (...)

Hi all: The problem with using a wall wart that is NOT 12 V @ 500 mA is this: most wall warts are _not_ regulated, and they have a fairly high internal impedance. If there is no load on a "12 V" unit, the output voltage will likely be at least 18 V, (...) (25 years ago, 10-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) I'm relying on non-handyboard experience here, but I'm going to assume that's too much.

I have an old 'wall wart' lying around. It has a rating of (12 vdc 1 amp output). i was wondering if i can use it on the handy board. the specs i read about the handy board call for a 12v 500mAmp output. any response would be appreciated. FRED (25 years ago, 9-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
