  HB heat problems, HB connectivity problems (Mac)
 
I have two HandyBoards. One is having a severe heating problem on the second from the bottom chip on the left side. It is getting to the point that after a few minutes of being on, it is painful to touch. All of the solder points to that chip appear (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

thanks for the help. I just breadboarded the circuit with the RC circuit and the instability has gone away. Now I have to get the extra components on to the HB :) see the datasheet for details: (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) substitute (...) These are NOT optional components. I saw the same thing with the IS1U60 if I didn't use the 47uf/47ohm low-pass filter on the Vdd input to the part. Use it, your problem will go away. have fun, DLC (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  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)

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)

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 (...)
