Dear Handy Boarders, I'd like to officially announce some changes in the Handy Board world. First, I've left MIT. My last day of work was August 31, 2000. I'm don't have a new job yet, and I'm not sure when (or if) I'll have a normal job. (I do have (...) (24 years ago, 2-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | PWM decoding
|
|
I sent this email a while back but didn't get any response so I'm trying again. What I am after is a way to decode the pwm output of a standard radio control receiver (the same signals sent to the servos) into a numerical form that can be used (...)

| | flow control with Switch
|
|
I try to use a "switch" instead o using alot of "if... else". I use the one like a normal C compiler, but it doesn´t work. What can I do?. Daniel (24 years ago, 29-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Found C7
|

Fred, Thanks for the tip. You're right - it is printed on the board itself. I found it as soon as I put on my glasses. :-) Steve Mosiman (24 years ago, 26-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: Capacitor on Sonar Board
|
|
look on the polaroid board itself. it has (or used to, anyhow) a blank space where you could mount a component that is labeled "C7". the cap goes there. if you absolutely cannot find a spot on the polaroid board labeled C7, they must have updated (...)

| | Capacitor on Sonar Board
|
|
The instructions on connecting the Polaroid Ultrasonic Ranging System to the Handy Board (at (URL) say to be sure and install the 0.1 uF capacitor in the C7 position on the sonar board. It is unclear what is meant here. Is this refering to the (...) (24 years ago, 26-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: Batteries again, sorry
|
|
you're almost right. if you plugged a nimh pack into the HB's charge jack, the external pack would charge the internal batteries. but it would not power the board significantly. this is because the HB's charge jack includes a current-limit resistor (...)

| | Batteries again, sorry
|
|
This should be my last question in terms of batteries. Assuming that I have nicads powering the HB, what effect would there be if, when the batteries were getting low, I connected a fully charged battery pack (e.g. containing the nimh cells) into (...)
