  Help with IR receive
 
I just added the Sharp IS1U621 to my handyboard. That is apparently a substitute for the ISU160. When I run the simple test program: while (1) {if (4 & peek(0x1000)) fd(0); else bk(0);} my lights continuously flicker. When I put my logic proble on (...)

  Firefighting robots
 
I'm building a robot for the 2000 Trinity College competition. Since the goals of the contest are fairly complex and I'm new to programming, does anyone know of source code listings for a sumo bot? I've seen a bit of assembly source but I'm (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Mystery problem
 
I have been having a weird non-fatal problem lately with my handyboard. I put some code into the other night that was simply calling the testanalogs() function on startup. The .lis file I used just loaded the hbtest.c and the file I wrote containing (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: servo motor design
 
If you are using a Handyboard then what you probably want to do is simulate a servo motor rather than actually go through the effort of building one that behaves like the ones from a hobby shop. As an example, if you had a lego motor driving a gear (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  servo motor design
 
I know that designing your own servo motor is kinda stupid becoz they are abundant out there. but i'm in a competition which requires us to design our own gearbox, so i don't see a way out of it. how do i start? how do i design that feedback loop (...)

  Re: Driving an L298 motor driver board
 
Hi, I done a PCB with the L298 H-Bridge. You just need to remove the L293D and but a special connector in the socket. You can drive motors (2) with 2A current. If you are interesting with this PCB send me a mail. kind regards, Nicolas. (25 years ago, 14-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: error message
 
Sorry, but Interactive C does not support the "case" construct. You'll have to rewrite your code using "if...then" statements. Ross M.

  Re: Inversine sine function
 
This polynomial approximation looks better: ArcSin(x) = Pi/2 - Sqrt(1-x)*(a(0) + a(1)*x + a(2)*x^2 + a(3)*x^3 + a(4)*x^4 + a(5)*x^5 + a(6)*x^6 + a(7)*x^7 ) where a(0) = 1.57079 63050 a(1) = -0.21459 88016 a(2) = 0.08897 89874 a(3) = -0.05017 43046 (...)

  Re: Inversine sine function
 
(...) You might give this a try (for -1 < x < 1): ArcSin(x) = x + a(1)*x^3 + a(2)*x^5 + a(3)*x^7 + ... etc. with a(1) = 0.1666666667 a(2) = 0.0750000000 a(3) = 0.0446428571 a(4) = 0.0303819444 a(5) = 0.0223721599 a(6) = 0.0173527644 a(7) = (...)

  Inversine sine function
 
Hello, I would like to calculate an inverse sine (arcsin) function for one of my application. Does anyone know the algorithm of this trigonometric function? Thank you, J.M. Mongeau (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: L298 Motor Driver
 
If you don't already have the L293D chips it would give you more current capability if you used the SN754410. It is pin compatible with the L293D and supplies 1A continuous versus 0.6A for the L293D, and they can be stacked just as Kam suggested for (...)

  RE: L298 Motor Driver
 
James, Have you considered stacking two L293D chips on top of each other, solder the legs together and add a heat sink? You should be able to drive motors in the 1A range. Just a thought. -kam (URL) (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Driving an L298 motor driver board
 
I'm trying to drive 2 larger DC motors that draw about 1A each. I am using a L298 motor driver board that is sold by HVWTech. I would like to drive it straight from the Handyboard and I'm wondering if I'm going about this correctly. Am I correct in (...) (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: silly question or not??
 
No, its not a stupid question. Just impossible. At least kind of impossible. If you want 32 more outputs using the board as-configured, forget it. With what is available for chip selects minus what you have used already, you can get 16 more. All (...) (25 years ago, 11-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
