has anyone had any success hooking up brushless motors to a handyboard? basically, the problem i'm having is there is only one gnd pin on the motor, which is both for the internal digital logic and to sink the current through the motor. it's a (...)

Hi all, I hope someone out there can help me with this, I'm going nutz (actually i think i'm already there). I am trying to measure a short period of time. Ultimately this will measure ultrasonic ping/echo using Kam Leang's ultrasonic circuit. Right (...) (24 years ago, 8-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hello, I was wondering what types/brands of rechargeable batteries people have used and recommend for common use in electronics such as alarm clock, portable radios, etc.. Thanks, John Jeong (24 years ago, 8-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

those two things together strongly suggest that your crystal isn't running. any chance you can get a scope or logic probe to verify this -- measure the E clock output of the 'hc11 (pin 5). also, check that you've properly installed a 2.2 megaohm (...)

| | 5V of trouble
|
|
i'm assembling the handyboard according to the instructions found on the HB site. When measuring the E clock signal using a voltmeter, i register 5V instead to the anticipated 2.5V. i've re-checked all the solder joints but there doesn't appear to (...)

(...) Here's a stupid idea, but might be the simplest: Run a dumb terminal program. I keep a very old version of Telix for DOS around for this purpose. Most of the dumb terminal programs have some option or other for logging or capturing to a file. (...) (24 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) As others have said, the system should be able to drive this. However there are some obvious 'thoughts': 1) A light that draws 300mA when running, will _momentarily_ draw a much higher value when the bulb is cold. The actual ratio between the (...)

We have a system that was designed to let you run IC-like code on a host as if it were running on the HB. We use the HB as an extension to a larger mobile robot (the HB turns on lights, motors, etc. Our robot served candy via voice command at last (...)

It would be cool if IC can output results to a file. well, since it can't does anyone have code available for borland c++ which will receive data over the serial port? I found some code from earlier posts, but can't seem to find one that works. I (...) (24 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

300 mA shouldn't be a problem. are your main batteries low? alternately, are you sure it's 300 mA at 9v? can you measure it somehow. fred In your message you said: (...) (24 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
