Jan, Do you have the expansion board? If so, have you tried removing it and seeing if the display works on the Handy Board by itself? What makes you think the display is damaged? What are the symptoms? Does IC still work, even though the display is (...) (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hello, my Hitachi LM052-L display is damaged. Does anybody know where to buy a new one or equivalent in Europe ? Or how to test which part is damaged of the handyboard display system or the display itself ? Thank You ! Jan Luijk Netherlands (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) I was guessing here - most chargers don't check for peak charge, since I didn't know if the Handiboard charger did or didn't... If the charger has a trickle charge of more than C/50 or C/100 then NiCds will be damaged eventually on a long-term (...) (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

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 (...)

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 (...)
