  Refresh-rate of GP2D12
 
Hi, there is a new datasheet available for Sharps GP2D12-device. The refresh rate is definetely worse than 32ms as posted before, the correct (worst case) value is about 53 ms. See: (URL) for details DIRK (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Robotics Show on TLC
 
(...) Thank you for this pointer. I taped it (locally it was at 2am Sunday!) and we found it very interesting. I especially like the wheel design behind the JPL Nanorover ((2 URLs) (25 years ago, 17-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  How to connect handy board with linux
 
Hi, I have a problem, I wish someone can help me. I use linux to control my handy board. I can type command under IC, but I can do nothing without IC. HOw can I do something out of IC?

  Can't get input capture to work
 
I'm hoping someone can help me figure out the problem with the following driver. Ultimately I want to simulate a sony IR remote control using a 6.270 board. I acquired the sony-ir.asm and tried it out, but that wasn't working; so I trimmed it down (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Lego-izing the Handyboard.
 
Mark -- I built a chassis for my robot that cradles the HB and clamps two Lego gear motors solidly in place. Check out this web page for photos: (URL) side of the chassis consists of two sixteen-unit beams, one on top of the other with two-unit (...)

  Lego-izing the Handyboard.
 
I've mentioned this subject before here, but I never really got an answer that made much sense... Has anybody ever tried building a reasonable "LEGO-ish" container for the Handyboard? Ideally, that would be a sturdy enclosure that still provides (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Using a 293B/293D combination
 
I read on this list over a year ago that you *can* piggyback the two different chips together and still get the spike protection from the L293D. It was explained that you don't need to piggyback two L293D chips, because one spike-protecting chip (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  OxOc register
 
I had short circuit my TOC3 with a 5V source once. i changed the processor and the board worked. but i noticed that whenever i downloaded the pcode.s19 file, it wants to set the OxOD register instead of the OxOc. i downloaded config0c.s19 from the (...)

  Re: GP2D02 conversion
 
(...) Sorry for two messages about the same subject but after playing around a bit more with it I got better results. Here is the spreadsheet to calculate the constants to convert the GP2D02 output to centimeters: 0.1233 1.0320 9.3078 GP2D02 Actual (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: GP2D02 conversion
 
(...) Actually, the GP2DO2's output is not at all linear. Plotting the output against the actual distance will show an exponential curve. Each one is slightly different so what I do is to make up a little table in Excel like: 0,0 70,10 116,15 142,20 (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Using a 293B/293D combination
 
The HB FAQ mentions using the LM293B and LM293D chips in parallel (e.g., one L293D and one L293B) to gain increased current-carrying capability. My question is, if I do this am I losing the function of the spike-protecting diodes on the motor (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  GP2D02 conversion
 
Does anyone how I could create a lookup table or an algorithm to convert the output of the Sharp GP2D02 (0 to 255 = byte) to values between 10 and 80 cm, which is the reading capability of the IR? Thank you, J.M. Mongeau (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: IR Question
 
All of the IR sensors I've seen use a pulsed IR emitter so that the detector can distinguish between the emitted IR and ambient (e.g. sunlight). Some sensors simply measure the intensity of reflected IR, but this method doesn't work reliably unless (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I am a new user of handy board. I use handy board based on Mac. After I download Handy_Board_v1.2.icd, do I need to download any other thing to handy board? Now the basic function like fd(3), ao() works, but the expend function like sonar does not (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
