  Re: Robot positioning
 
William - For my group project, we bought sonar transducers and built circuits for them. Our original recieving circuit is digital rather than analog as we were only going to have one. The circuits we used are on our group's website on our (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: 6.8nF Capacitor
 
I don't suppose you know what the formula is for calculating the value of the frequency ?. 1/(R4*C6) possibly ?. This equation gives 38396Hz (38.4KHz) which means that my 6.6nF caps give 39560Hz (39.6KHz) which is closer to 40KHz than the 6.8nF (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Robot positioning
 
Hi Kate, I just want to know how/where to get a sonar transmitter/reciever pair with different frequencies for robot positioning. Can sonar module from Polaroid do that? Thanks, William (...) on (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Robot positioning
 
If you want to return to "base," all you need is a beacon of some sort. For example, you could use CdS cells (or anything that finds EM in the visible light/low IR range) and a lightbulb (or series of lightbulbs, like a strand of Christms tree (...)

  Melissa Virus
 
I have found the source and fortunately it is not from a HB site. It was from the Washington and Lee University EE school. (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Follow-up to Virus
 
It is amazing what can be recovered off a disk, with the right tools. This is the data on the virus files. The document, final1r....doc, within the zip file 478eti.zip is the culprit. "This file was quarantined.f M The file (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  File Contains Virus
 
There is a file located on one of the HB sites that contains the Melissa W97 virus. It begins with 478... I am sorry that I can not give you more info as the virus scanning software removed the file, but if you maintain a server with HB files on it, (...)

  Re: four polariod sonars
 
Hi, I read the design a while back... Don't you just control the multiplexor circuit on the handyboard and then call the sonar routines? All sonar use the same routine, aren't they? -- Ray JULIAN REYES <handyboard@media.mit.edu> wrote in message (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Handyboard startup problems
 
Yes, I encounter something similar. Do you use servo on your board? I also have some trouble with the motor ports. I am not sure what causes it. I also have trouble with the motor ports. When I run the motor at 50% power (back or forward), both red (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  H2000 optical position sensor
 
Hi, I am planning to build a position detector with a H2000 chip. The chip is used in several optical mice, for example the H2000/0006 can be found inside the Microsoft IntelliEye mouse. I sill have difficulties in finding the manufacturer and the (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Memory erased
 
Hi, Is it normal that any time I start IC, and the HB sinchronize with it, all the programs in the memory are erased, and there is only the ones the IC download at that moment (the ones in lib_hb.lis) ? If not, what can be the problem? If I use the (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

We are looking for assembled handyboards with the LCD detachable. Pricing and shipping means are requested for F.O.B. our doors in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The units will be used for student projects. Thanks (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Any work on using normal IR readings?
 
Has anyone done any work on using simple IR sensors as (short) range-finders / proximity detectors? Basically a reflectance sensor, but with a discrete infrared emitter and detector. One of the problems you notice right away when using these is that (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
