Greetings All, Have purchased a new computer and cannot communicate with my handy board. I remember some time back in the mail archives that some settings had to be changed if the computer was too fast for IC but cannot find it now. Computer has a (...)

(...) The obvious question is how you are measuring your capacitor and resistor values?. Resistors (presumably metal film), are typically +/-1%, but capacitors are unlikely to be 'better' than +/-5%, and may be significantly worse than this (many (...)

|

The 3.81K resistor is probably more accurate than its rated 1%, but the capacitor may be much less precise, unless you got a tight tolerance metal film one, (as I think the part list specifies). Precision also relies on the thresholds of the Schmitt (...) (25 years ago, 12-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Maybe somebody could help. I am try to use the IR output. the problem is that the HB is modulating the signal at 41kHz and I need to get it down to 38kHz. I have checked the resistor and capacitor used in generating the frequency. R = 3.81 K C = (...) (25 years ago, 12-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Following up on my challenge to get some things happening here..... Following is an IC routine that can be used to find angular displacement from and distance to a wall. It uses the Sharp GP2D12 IR ranging module mounted on a servo to do the (...) (25 years ago, 10-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I've had great success using Hall-effect magnetic sensors as shaft encoders with the Handy Board. The sensors are the type that Patrick Hui (of the Robot Store HK) includes in his HB sensor kit. I glued small disk magnets into the holes in a pair of (...) (25 years ago, 10-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi everybody I'm trying to find an encoder to work with my Handy Board(using a DC motor). Please help me if you know anything about Shaft encoder(S1 optical encoder)interfacing with Handy Board. Can i use the Shaft encoder? Do you know how to (...) (25 years ago, 10-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I bought a handyboard for my Thesis to do some data aquisition....now that I am done and out in the working world I don't think I am going to need it anytime soon. (Unless I go for my Phd :) ) Anyway, it is fully assembled and works fine. Comes with (...) (25 years ago, 10-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Christian, I had similar problems with my handyboard twice. The first time the expansion board was causing the problem, so if you are using the expansion board, try to run dl without it. Fortunately I was in the lucky situation to have two (...) (25 years ago, 10-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
