  RE: withdraw?
 
I'm not sure how "signatures" work, but maybe one could be added to every handyboard message reminding people of the proper procedure on how to take themselves off the mailing list? Just a suggestion! Dave (25 years ago, 22-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  External Motor Power Problems
 
Hello all, I modified my HB to except the external motor source. After downloading a test program to see if all the ports worked, I found that only one motor port now works. There is the possibility that I shorted out other chips, but I am sure that (...) (25 years ago, 22-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Why would you get flamed? it's just a conformal coating. they do it a lot in the military. It *IS* possible to fix a circuit board that's been protected in this way; when I was in the Navy one of the schools I went to was in microminiature (...)

It's at hardware stores, used for dipping wrench handles and stuff to make them more comfortable and electrically insulated. I held the (...)

  Re: Can't get MiniBoard to Download??
 
Hello, I have not done anything with my Miniboard for quite some time but I believe what you are seeing is just the basic lighting due to the fact that there is nothing programmed. You need to put it in bootstrap mode and download the proper files (...) (25 years ago, 21-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Can't get MiniBoard to Download??
 
I am not sure if it is bad form to ask questions about the MiniBoard here on the HandyBoard list so I'll try keep it short.
