My guess is that the Polaroid unit will only be able to drive transducers with electrical characteristics very similar to the Polaroid transducer. The transducer functions mainly as a capacitor, and in between pings, it is kept at a couple hundred (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

COOL! How do you control 8 servos? I have the expansion board and there are only 6 servo connections there. What other port did you use to control the other 2 servo? Or do you use the expansion board at all? I am looking for a way to add two more (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Actually, I live in Wisconsin, and I heard about the "Rockets for School" but no one in my high school knows anything about it. I saw it on the news. . . Now that I am in college, and I still want to try launching something up in the sky! Possibly a (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I need to attach an underwater sonar ranger to the handyboard but I cannot figure out how. Does anyone have any experience with this? One question that I have is if sonar transducers other than the polaroid 7000 unit can be attached to Polaroids (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Maxim sells a chip that I have connected to the parallel port on my PC and it seems to work well. I got the design from an article in Dr. Dobbs. The article was on using Linux to collect data. The author of the article has a book which has the (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Is that how it works? I remeber a time when some students were using a joystick for a project and recall them dealing with some sort of PWM. As to whether they were the joystick position signals, I'm not entirely sure. (...) This message is for the (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) For digital values, you can use a parallel port card, or even handshake lines on a serial port. For analog, you can again use a parallel port, and hook up an external A/D chip. As long as you're not trying to get too many bits of resolution (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
