I just bought a Vector 2X electronic compass for a project. In looking at it the manual, I see that if the 2X is run in slave mode I can clock out data from it at my leisure using any digital pins available on the Handy Board. This could almost be (...)

no i disagree with this answer. the HB is designed to be left on normal charge indefinitely. the batts can get a little warm. if they are hot then something is wrong, but a little warm is nothing to worry about. when fully charged and with no load (...)

In the sonar code from the web site, the rising edge detection on timer input channel 3 (TIC3) is set like this: bit_clear( 0x1021, 2 ); bit_set( 0x1021, 1 ); According to the little pink book, address 0x1021 is the Timer Control Register 2 (TCTL2) (...)

actually this is to be expected. with no load, the diodes produce no drop. if you're worried, try hooking a DC motor (or other real load -- light bulb, 10 ohm resistor, etc). across the servo motor supply and then measure the voltage. you should see (...)

the fact that the two LEDs come on and then go off suggests that you *are* successfully putting the hc11 into download mode. it also happens that the hc11 TxD pin is in what's called "wired OR mode" during bootstrap. this means that it can only (...)

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)
