(...) What is it supposed to be doing? When you say _it_ doesn't work, what exactly is not working? I'm not that familiar with the routines but it looks like you're shutting off the servos before they can move. I also believe once you turn off the (...)

This is a dumb electrical question. I am a programmer, and I still struggle with the electrical aspects of this hobby. How do I convert voltage output to resistance. I have an application that turns out 0 to +5 volts. However, as I read the (...) (25 years ago, 2-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Fortunately there is a direct relationship between servo-value and angle. Try different angles (for example 0 / 45 / 90 / 135 / 180 degree) and draw the diagram value vs. angle (for example with MS Excel). You will (hopefully) see a linear (...)

Well, you can _greatly_ increase the efficency of the handyboard if you remove the 7805 regulator and replace it with a PowerTrends switching regulator (Digikey sells these among others). I would suggest you run three wires from the regulator to the (...) (25 years ago, 1-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
