  Re: Motors spinning at startup
 
The problem is the same with LEGO-gear-motors. Even worse, the post says "... put a wire to the can ..." but how can you do this with a plastic device? Any help appreciated. Dirk (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Motors spinning at startup
 
Hi all, I have a problem with the motors connected to my handyboard. When I first turn on the HB, the motors will spin randomly. This happens about every 2-3 times I switch on. I know this problem has come up before on the list, but the post I found (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Where to find program examples?
 
Hi I recently purchased a Hb, does anyone know where I can find examples for programming it? Also is the IC code for the rug Warrior the same as the IC for the HB? Thanks -Mike (24 years ago, 2-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Ic question
 
As far as I know, the infinite loop construct is the way to do it. However, you can have multiple processes, each waiting on a sensor, each running in an infinite loop, each using the defer() function to allow switching between processes when (...)

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)
