Hi everyone, I'm trying to hook up a moisture sensor to the HB but having some errors. These are resistive type sensors so I have it connected to the grnd and signal on the HB of the analog ports. After connecting to the HB, at the C prompt I tried (...) (23 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi. I am building a mobile robot, which should operate during days continued in external enviroments. For this reason I need to replace the voltage adapter of my HB for Lead Acid batteries. I plan to use some Lead Acid batteries like primary feeding (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Hi Andy, we did it the way you described, but with a 6.270 board (little brother of handy-board). We earned performance on 6.270 with it, because the only thing we had to do is to parse the string received from serial port. We attached a (...)

Thanks for the insight, I am sorry that I did not mention the main controller would be a Handyboard (implied though due to the news group). This is still a good point and has given me a lot to think about. The slave controller would continue until (...) (23 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

The advantage of distributed processing is that you can take a sometimes considerable load off the main MCU. Consider a speed regulator: a sensor is needed to continuously monitor the speed at which the wheels are turning and adjustments in motor (...)

I have noticed low cost PICs (such as OOPic) that are capable of controlling (and getting useful data out of) devices like the Polaroid sonar rangefinder and other devices. Is there a benefit in delegating processing tasks such as this to a (...) (23 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi from France ! I have assembled a Handy Board that works well with the original 9.6 V battery pack, but I would now use a separate power source with bigger motors to have more torque (I use a 7.2 V propulsion pack, with a H-bridge system). Since (...) (23 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) First off, beware that ordinary tap water contains dissolved impurities and is electrically conductive. (Water itself, BTW, is actually an insulator - it's the dissolved impurities that give it conductivity). It usually isn't an issue with (...) (23 years ago, 12-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
