  digital in's and out's?
 
Hi, I want to construct my own expansion board with as many digital in's and outs as possible!! I know this can be done but I don't know where to start.

  Re: digital in's and out's?
 
Dear Steve, Nobody wants to hear this said, and I hate to be the one to do it, but you can start by reading the data available on the Handy Board web site (quick duck to avoid thrown volt meter). Fred has done what you want to do (memory-mapped (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jun-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Memory Problem
 
Has anybody use the 62256LP-10, instead the 62256LP-120. Because I use and it doen´t work, I´m starting to think, that it may be a HandyBoard problem, not a memory one. Daniel ---...--- " `BETTER´ IS THE ENEMY OF `GOOD ENOUGH´" ---...--- (25 years ago, 17-Jun-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Memory Problem
 
Daniel: Yes I am running two handy boards with 62256LP-10 's that I have stripped from a scrap controller board of some sort. They work just fine. Total cost $0.99 plus effort to desolder them from the board. Regards, Bart Schrijver. ___...___ (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jun-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Handyboard Assembly Problems
 
Umar: This may sound trivial to others, but here is what I think you should do. When a new handyboard is switched on without any software loaded that drives the LCD display, you should see the first line fully dark and the second line light. So (...)

  Handyboard Assembly Problems
 
I am assembling a handyboard, and am at stage 6.0.4, where I plug in my LCD screen for the first time.

  Re: Expansion Board
 
Did you initialize them? You have to issue the initialization command to turn them on. init_expbd_servos(ON) (where ON=1) init_expbd_servos(OFF) (where OFF=0) turns them off Then give the servo a positioning command. servo(x) = y (where x is servo (...)

  Re: Expansion Board
 
Did you try something like init_servo0(1) {I'm not sure I got the syntax correctly}. It enables the specifice servo output to function. ---...--- ericson mar Robotics Consultant mar@cooper.edu (212)353-4356 Department of Mechanical Engineering The (...)

  6500 sonar
 
Does anybody know where I can get the Texas Instrument TL851CN and SN28784N chips. I found some on the web but I had to order 50 of them at 3$ a piece.
