Just started to learn how to use my new HB. In going through the IC manual I could not find any routines for writing to the serial port. Does anybody have a good example on how to write "hello world" to the serial port, and have the attached (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi all, Seeing notes about the sub and all, I thought I shall share some info. I know this list is purely for HB enthusiasts and forgive me if this does not interest you. The reason I got involved in HB was when I planned to use HB for a Aerial (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Recently , i am trying to use HB as the controller for a Remote control project . However , i have yet to figure out how to make the HB take in a 8 bit digital signal from the UART?Is there any circuit require to execute the describe function? i am (...)

There is a whole community of Radio Control submariners who have extensive experience that you could make use of. If you want it to act like a true submarine with diving planes etc. you should definitely use their knowledge base. It is much harder (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Yes. You missed the "with a hole at the bottom connected to the water" which means that water comes in as you move the air to the reservoir. And this means reducing the effective volume of the submersible but keeping its weight. Just the same (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Am I missing something? (...) cylinder (...) That's (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

That is what Radio Control modelers do all the time. The technology is mature and readily available. This would prevent any autonomy in the bot, you become the brains. Mike (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi! I planned to build a sub myself about two years ago but couldn't find the time to build it. What I have to offer are some thoughts. Fortunately a submersible needs lots of ballast, so you can stuff it with lots of batteries and gear. So my plan (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi - We are building a submersible robot. For maintaning the depth we need a ballast system, we are planning to use a canister of compressed air with some electronnically controlled valves. In addition we are planning to use a depth sensor, Pressure (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi all, After reading this Tilt Sensor message I had a look at www.analog.com and found they did samples of the chip. I got two samples the other day and so made a quick test pcb. The board seems to work ok looking at it with a scope but now I want (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
