Anyone knows where to buy a V-SCOPE transponder for accurate positioning of HB robot or atleast where to get its datasheet so that I can find whether it can be supported by the HB. thanx, Sunil. (25 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hope this will help. Have you consider using Cds(Cadmium Sulfide) cells from Radio Shack? They are among the easiest of all light sensors to interface to the Handy Board and the interface itself is pretty much straightforward. All it is a a variable (...)

Also, if you don't want your motherbot to have a "light-bulb" on it... You can get an infrared LED (or a few to make it brighter) and use the same concept Barry mentioned. To get the best result in sensitivity it way be wise to match the peak (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Use the encoder routines from the HB web site: (URL) these, you can use any of the analog ports (i.e., you don't have to use ports 0 and 1 first). I have the sonar hooked up to the expansion board, too, so I have my encoders running on ports 2 & 3. (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
