  Looking for TI SN754410s.
 
I am looking for four (4) TI SN754410s. I have tried all of the usual electronic parts distributors, but they are all out of stock. I would appreciate any leads or suggestions. Thanks. (28 years ago, 9-Oct-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  IR Detectors
 
Does anyone know where to buy the electronics that are used to make security system IR/motion detectors? The complete wireless modules cost about $50, I was wondering if they could be bought without the transmitter and if these would be easy to (...)

  More info of serial I/O
 
I am trying to get the handyboard to communicate with a standard COM port. I have Randy Sargent's code of how to communicate serially, however, a terminal program cannot find the handyboard (I get a "Cannot open COM Port" error). I think that there (...)

  looking for a web site...
 
Along similar lines, I've been searching for a web site I saw once. It features a basic stamp or PIC controlled LCD terminal, to be directly connected to a serial line. I was hoping to possibly scavenge some code off of the site, but I can't find (...) (28 years ago, 6-Oct-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  serial code
 
I'm just curious if anyone has written any code to communicate with the handy board through its serial line - either on the PC or handy board side. (Yes, I have the routines Randy Seargent posted, I'm looking for implementations of them...) I'm (...) (28 years ago, 6-Oct-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Tutebot
 
I am just starting to learn about basic electronics and robotics. I purchased the book "Mobile Robots" and have read through parts of it. I decided to try and build the "Tutebot", a simple analog brained robot with a bumper sensor. If anyone has (...) (28 years ago, 4-Oct-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: mobile robot books
 
Accessing the Borenstein thing seems to be a problem quite a few are having. I got a few messages questioning how I eventually got in. Instead of responding to all of them, I figure I'd post it to everyone. Below is the message from Sriram to me. It (...) (28 years ago, 1-Oct-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  HandyBoard's Baud rate
 
My name is Micah Krider and I asked for the information on changing the baud rate on the handyboard to communicate serially. You sent me the following code to communicate serially: void xxxxxx(int c) { while(!(peek(0x102e)&0x80)); poke(0x102f,c); } (...) (28 years ago, 1-Oct-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Matt Harlan found a mistake in the following drawing. (...)

  using Buffalo with the HB
 
Ronan -- I don't think it's the LCD per se that is causing problems, but rather the fact that the HB runs the 6811 in special mode. The main effect of this is that the interrupt vectors, including the reset vector, live at $bfc0 to $bfff rather than (...) (28 years ago, 1-Oct-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  buffalo on HB
 
Hello All! I know it sounds perverse *not* to use IC, but I want to give students exposure to direct machine-language access in a revised "peripherals and interfacing" course using HBs.

Tom I got a couple LMD18200's from National and I'm getting ready to connect them to my HB. Looking back in my list of messages I got this: (...) This part is OK, but I'm not sure about the rest.
