 | | Servo function (new?)
|
|
Hello all, here's a servo function that I worked up. It's really very simple, but I figured that someone else might want to use/hack it up. My problem was that I wanted to be able to set the servo (non-continuous) at *any* point in its travel (...) (24 years ago, 23-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi everyone, I am now trying to use the IR transmitter and receiver to communicate two HB. The method seems work, but the main problem is the transmitter power is seems too weak. My HBs can only communicate within a few inches. My question is: Is (...) (24 years ago, 22-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

|

Dear All I'm at my wits end on this one. It's a little routine to measure on PA0 a pulse width of a PWM signal generated on PA7. The two pins are linked with a jumper. I've looked through all the books and and handyboard archive, but all I get is (...) (24 years ago, 22-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

In order to stop the hacked servos, I have to call init_expbd_servos(0) which dis-allows use of the other ones. Does anyone have any asm code (...)

gary -- it's an interesting bug. as you say you've got two 2-dim arrays, i can surmise that you're using Newton Lab's version of IC. In which case, they'd be the ones to address this problem. re: mailing list, it's now administered through LUGNET. (...) (24 years ago, 16-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
