We're looking into buying a sonar ranging module from Acroname for use in our lab. Does anyone reccomend a particular offering of theirs? If we buy this unit: (URL) we will have to do to connect it to the HandyBoard are the wiring steps laid out on (...) (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Eric, The pcode does load, or otherwise the beeper would not beep with the board reset. But you cannot communicate with your PC, which seems to be a very common problem with the newer and faster PC's. If you are using the freeware version of IC, try (...)

When using the GP2D02, you are using port A, pin 5 and port A, pin 0. That's where the PA0 and PA5 terminology comes from. I wrote that particular piece on the Acroname website, so I apologize for not being more clear. And yes, it is necessary to (...) (25 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Of course, the Handy Board has a piezo speaker built in. With the beeper and tone functions provided by IC, you can make all sorts of sound effects. You can make your robot sound like R2-D2 if you like. Also, Radio Shack sells piezo speakers. -- (...) (25 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

it seems like the HB is not able to talk back to your PC. make sure the TxD signal starting from the 'hc11 is leaving the HB properly at the RJ11, reaching the interface bd, and then being cvt'ed to -10v to +10v levels out the interface bd on its (...)

(...) Why does it make the ports useless for other sensors? If you need a pullup-resistor, you can still solder a 47k resistor directly to your sensor-connector between Vcc and Sensor in. Thus in my opinion the HB can be used more flexible without (...) (25 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I recently finished collecting all the parts for the handyboard and started assembly. I went all the way through the i/c board setup without a hitch. But when I got to assembling the serial comm circuit a few things went wrong. I assembled the (...) (25 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

hi, Does anyone have a good idea about sound generating source. We are thinking of using Piezo transducers but don't know where to get them. This is for our product design course where we are designing a singnal indicator for an antenna. We would (...) (25 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
