Hello - I'm having some trouble figuring out how to wire Precision Navigation's Vector 2X Compass for use with the Handy Board. I've checked out the files in ".../software/contrib/tomb/" on the Handy Board site, but I'm sort of at a loss. Due to the (...) (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Another technique for finding trig functions and their inverses used by both HP and TI in their calculators is the CORDIC algrorithm. A description of the technique with lots of references can be found at: (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Taylor series should converge quite rapidly. After 2 or 3 terms, the error is usually neglectable (depending or your demands, of course: this should be fine for up to a few decimals) For those not familiar with the Taylor expansion, I've added a (...)

Here's a simple program that will make a servo move as the knob on the Handyboard is turned: int i; void main() { init_expbd_servos(1); while(1) { i= knob(); i = (i*10)+1000; printf("val %d\n",i); msleep(20L); servo0 = i; } } (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: servo program
|

Dear ?: First off, your program contains an infinite loop; statement return(0); will never be reached. Also you told it that main does not return a value, yet you used e return in the end. This will generate a compiler error for sure. I belief the (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I've been trying to do this as well. The problem I have found is that the Taylor series expansion needs to be developed near the solution to get accurate results. Some may wonder why finding the arcsine of a number might be of interest. If one has a (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Can anyone please write me a brief servo motor program that will control two servos from the expansion board? This the one I had to control one, but did not work: void main(void) { while(1) { init_expbd_servos(1) servo0 = 1000 } return(0); } (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Yes it does. Look in the Handy_Board_1.2.icd file that came on your 3.x disc. That file specifies the .s19 pcode file to load and any other files to be loaded at startup of IC 3.x. You can either change those to some special name you have created (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
