Personally I use a Scott Edwards Serial Servo Controller (model 1, there is a new one out now) - SSC. On the handyboard web site is a program to control this serial device from the handyboard, which means you can just set each leg position and let (...)

Have a look a (URL) is my hobby robotics site. Currently I have a Hexwalker running with a HB. The 12 servo's are simply controller by a PIC 16F84. This PIC is controlled by the HB through an async interface. This makes it lightweight on the HB, so (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

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?

(...) 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.

| | Re: 12V servo motors

Since the HB battery is only 9.6 V, a 12 V motor would most likely draw too much current and pop the circuit breaker (or worse). I don't see why you couldn't power the servos with a separate 12 V battery, though. The HB expansion board is all set up (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
