I have recently come across an interesting IC being sold by RS Electronics in the UK. It is an IR transceiver IC which effectively gets connected to a normal serial UART and then just acts as though there was a physical cable in place. The IC does (...)

| | Re: Encoder routines
|
|
I can offer some input on this, as I have used both the Rug Warrior approach and the Handy Board approach that you describe. As far as which method has an advantage over the other is probably a qualitative assessment that is application driven, and (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Encoder routines
|
|
I've looked at the shaft encoder routines and it seems to be getting the encoder voltage at certain times and using that to keep track of ticks. In the past I have used an input capture to keep track of ticks. Is there a certain advantage of one (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | GP2D02 - problems?
|
|
Hi all, I used Gary Livicks routine in connection with the GP2D02 Sensor. When there is no obstacle in front of the sensor the LDC shows: "range is 77". Is that normal. Shouldn't the LCD display zero? If it is normal can you say me why? Thank you (...) (26 years ago, 19-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi, I believe an earlier post indicated that, since the analog inputs on the expansion board are multiplexed to the analog input 0 on the HB, if you cut the trace on analog port 0, the expansion board analog ports will all be "pull-up (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | GP2D12 on expansion board
|
|
Hi all, I am using three GP2D12 on the expansion board. When I connect them (after removing the analogue port 1 resistor and put the GP2D12 on port 24-26) I experience some weird problem. It seems the there is a short-circuit somewhere. I notice (...) (26 years ago, 19-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | short-circuit?
|
|
Hi, This past few days, I notice my board uses up the battery very quickly (may be because I use servos). Then I notice that the voltage regulator at U13 heats up very quickly. I was wondering if I short-circuit somewhere. I didn't build the board, (...) (26 years ago, 19-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) is it a cylinder (about the size of 2x2) with thin wall sides? (what a lego description!) then, it is an accessory for a sewing machine that holds the thread for the backstitch. older ones are metal; newer ones are plastic. later ~ craig~ (26 years ago, 19-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Isn't a bobbin part of a sewing machine? I distinctly remember it being the thing underneath the needle that you needed to load with thread to make the whole thing work. Aha, a look at websters gives me the following definition: 5. (Elec.) A (...) (26 years ago, 19-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi. Sorry if this is a repost. I don't think I was able to post this message last time. I am thinking about putting three GP2D12 sensors on port 28, 29, 30 (because I am not thinking about using Lego Sensor, and I really like other analogue ports (...)
