  Re: NiMh batteries
 
You are correct, the NiCd batteries are a dying breed. HOWEVER, NiCds will retain their charge on the shelf whereas NiMh batteries will continually discharge slowly.

  NiMh batteries
 
Hello folks, I want to implement 8 Nimh (nickel metal hydride) batteries instead of Nicads on my robot. I have read that these are lighter, have more capacity and don't retain charge memory. The batteries I am looking at are 1200 mAh. Currently it (...) (23 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Instructions for building own Handyboard
 
Thanks for the advice. I might check out the kits. I'd really like to do it all myself - it helps having a Fry's Electronics about 2 miles from my house, but I understand about the multiple shipping charges adding up. It's also a matter of cost: (...) (23 years ago, 16-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: Instructions for building own Handyboard
 
James, Gerber files can be found in the Hardware:PCB Layouts link. The HB is a fairly complex board -- are you sure you want to make it by hand? If you haven't gone from Gerber files to boards before, the HB probably isn't the best board to start (...) (23 years ago, 14-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Instructions for building own Handyboard
