What value resistor should I put in series with the IR led for transmitting from the hb ?. The red led that is present as an indicator is rated for about 5mA (I think they normally run at about 2-3mA) using a 1K resistor (R5) so should I run the IR (...)

| | Got some code for you: Sonar on handy in feet & inches!
|
|
Hi, I wanted to see how to convert the sonar hits into feet in inches. Well as the textbook rule goes it looke like it takes 333.333 ticks = 1 inch round trip. Since the timer is running 2,000,000 counts per second. But in real life I had to fudge (...) (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

|
|
Well the Quad hall effect switch encoder does not give repeable resolution. If I say 14 ticks = right turn (motors going in opposite direction) well. sometime it is on the money, sometime it's not. And I don't have a racer.. I have it running slow (...) (24 years ago, 13-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi, I am trying to use the 100 step motor code and a Hb expansion board. I can get either one of them to work ALONE ONLY. So I can only use the expansion board. OR the 100 step pcode, How do I install both so they dont conflict with one another. (...) (24 years ago, 13-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hello, I work with a Handy Board and an other board based on 68hc11E2. The first is master and the second is slave. The SPI communication is OK between 2 boards. The first send the position of servos to the second. At the start, all is OK. After 2 (...) (24 years ago, 13-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi You can only run the counter 4x slower as now. But in this case, the complete HB works 4x times slower, so this isn't a usefull solution. The other possibility is the use the overflow flag and integers. I didn't solve that problem. For more (...) (24 years ago, 13-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hello, my problem is that peekword returns an int. I need a long. Is there a way around this in Interactive C??? (24 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Interactive C question can you cast an int to a long?
|
|
Hi, I have an interactive C question, I'd like to return this: return peekword(0x1014) - start_time; as a long.. since this is why there's a distance limit in the sonar.c code. Can I return this as a long? (24 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

|
|
Hi, I was playing with my handyboard's sonar.. The distance limitation is in the code, since we are using integers we are limited to -32,778 to 32,768.. and that's why I am at @15 ft limit. After we change the sonar code to longs the problem is (...) (24 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
