Would installing a diode (power diode, >3A ?) into the +ve line of the battery pack be suitable to prevent the power circuitry of the HB from trying to recharge the nimh cells ?. Or do I actually need to do anything at all ?, i.e. the nimh cells (...) (24 years ago, 21-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi everyone, I'm studying C programing now, but I've had my handy board for more than a year now, I want to now if anyone has a small project, just a motor and some sensors, with all the code I have to put, and how to put the code in the IC program (...)

Should I modify the hb circuit to disable the recharge circuitry if I am using nimh batteries or will the circuitry just not recharge the batteries ?, i.e. no damage to the cells by using them on an 'as-is' board. As an extra question to the list in (...) (24 years ago, 19-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

i'm not sure if wiring two nicad packs in parallel is a good idea. the packs would fight each other if either one's voltage varied even slightly from the other. i'd recommend either (1) John's initial suggestion of adding a separate pack solely for (...)

(...) The Motorola reference manual (cpu12rm.pdf at motorola-site) of the 68hc12 (successor of 6811) section 9 has a practical approach to fuzzy logic. The special 68hc12 instructions are easy to implement in 68hc11 code. ntk. (24 years ago, 19-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I am currently using nickel hydride AA cells in two 4-cell battery boxes and so far during my construction and testing of the board they have not needed recharging yet. I didn't have access to a mains power supply most of the time, so after checking (...) (24 years ago, 19-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Jerry, I really haven't timed how long a battery charge lasts on the Handyboard but I did add a second 9.6v battery pack for the purpose of isolating the motor power from the logic circuit power. I did this to eliminate motor RF interference to the (...) (24 years ago, 19-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi, Quick question. How much runtime are you getting with your Handyboard based robot? With sonar /IRPD pinging once per second and my sensor array being controlled by two servos and my Lego motors pushing the 6 wheel drive rover I am getting 2Hrs. (...)
