| | Re: Hexapod servo supply
|
|
I had a very similar problem with my robot. When the servos are under high load (ie holding up your robot) and you try to move them all at once, the current drawn is quite large. I never actually measured how large, but large enough to destroy a 1A (...) (25 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

You have a short circuit somewhere. The first thing to check is to make sure you have the capacitors in the right way. Some of them are polarized, and if you put them in backwards, they sometimes short out, and sometimes they blow up. The next thing (...) (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Handy Board Users, Thank you for your response a couple of weeks ago concerning the Reference Voltage on the Handy Board A/D converter.

Hi all, I am now building a hexapod robot. There is something wrong on the servos preformances. Actually, my robot weights 1.6kg, and by calculations my servos can support up to 2.5kg with normal operations. But when I connected the 6v dc supply for (...)

Some years back, I got a set of "hard to find" electronics parts for the 6.270 board (from PK Oberoi, for those who might know who that is). I never got around to building the boards, and I'm doing my robotics stuff with the RCX. So, I thought (...) (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)
