  Expansion board question?
 
Hi I added the expansion board to my HB. I dowloded the propper files and My question is how do I check to see if my expansion board is working and has the files it needs? Thanks! -Mike (24 years ago, 31-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Expansion Board problems (Kinda OT)
 
(...) I was trying to build a 110V AC -> 24V DC power supply from Radio Shack parts once... It was late at night and I was tired. I only had a 12v transformer, so I pulled out an electronics book and build a voltage doubler on the output side of the (...) (24 years ago, 31-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Question burn the board?
 
Hi , I have not recieved the HB yet but its on order, my question is I saw in the freeware IC, BURN THE BOARD icon? Is this used to load the programs I write or is it something else? Thanks for any info. -Mike (24 years ago, 29-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: hbdl question
 
Todd, There are Two options on the Windows program HBDL.EXE 1. Download - This downloads a bootloader then a file to the external RAM of the handy board. 2. Burn - This (attempts) to download a file to the HandyBoards 68Hc11 internal EEPROM. Thus (...) (24 years ago, 28-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: my handy is death ????
 
Do you mean that when you turn on the Handy Board, the motors start to run spontaneously? I used to have that problem, too, but only when there was no program yet loaded. I saw a message on this mailing list a few months back that suggested a remedy (...) (24 years ago, 27-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: IC question
 
You might try something like: while( 1 ) { if( start_button() ) printf( "you pressed the start button\n" ); else printf( "\n" ); msleep( 250L ); } or simply: { start_press(); printf( "you pressed the start button\n" ); } -- Will (...) +---...---+ | (...)

  hbdl question
 
when using hbdl what does the burn the board option do? It says download to eprom. What file should you download to the eprom? Is this necessary? Thanks, Todd (24 years ago, 27-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  IC question
 
Just got my handyboard, and I am new to programming, so I have a probably simple question for you all. I have been playing around with IC trying to get responses on the LCD from start button presses. if I send the following on the IC command line : (...)

  Re: Digital outputs.
 
You can use solid state relays with 5 VDC inputs and DC outputs to control large loads. The inputs require very little current. It is less expensive to build transistor switches, which will do the same thing, but obviously much simpler to use (...) (24 years ago, 25-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  handy board, motor problems
 
I have six handy board for academics activities in my University. In two, I have problems: When move power switch ON, the same indicators(leds) of motors outputs work, with load programs and without load programs. ¿What's happening? Thank (24 years ago, 25-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  CCD on the handyboard ??
 
Maybe someone already discussed this argument.... I'd like to connect a CCD to the handyboard, but how ?? What comes out from a CCD ? How to interface the CCD's output signal ? Anyone can help me ? Stefano (24 years ago, 25-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Digital outputs.
 
How would I go about making the digital outputs capable of controlling a higher current than the 5 ma that is standard? Can a switching transistor be controlled by them? Or do I need some sort of IC to do the job? Particularly I would like to be (...) (24 years ago, 25-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  servos again
 
I'm still at my servo question :) the 3 servo routines so far use "normal" digital outputs. There are, according to the FAQ, 4 extra outputs I could use (SPI J6). Does this mean that I could write my own routines to drive 4 extra servos using these (...) (24 years ago, 23-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I have no clue, how anybody got reliable results when mounting it horizontal. There is no (...) (24 years ago, 22-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
