I see there has been some software for i2c interface to Handyboard. How do you connect the hardware? Is it just a case of using 6 pins on the data port. ---...--- This mail sent through UK Online webmail (23 years ago, 13-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: Serial LED is not lighting up = pilot error
|

Hi Scott, the handyboard part-list says that this LEDs are from the HLMP17xx series. These LEDs are low-current LEDs and only need 2 mA current at (1.8V) 1.9V forward voltage. So your 10mA 3V LEDs doesn't fit. Have a look at : (URL) you can use LEDs (...) (23 years ago, 3-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I believe I've determined the problem. It looks like pilot error. Upon closer inspection of the serial LED, I noticed that it was defintely backwards in comparison to the power LED. I know that the power LED works like it should so the serial LED (...) (23 years ago, 3-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Thanks for the info Rainer. I ended up picking up a Logic Probe from Radio Shack as it was only $18. Even if its not top of the line, it should work plenty fine for this job (and more later).

Hi Scott, I assembled three 6.270 boards (kind of grandpa of handyboard) some month ago and didn't need an Oscilloscope or a Logic Probe. I guess you'll only need such things if you run into trouble with getting started with your handyboard. So, try (...) (23 years ago, 26-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi To solve your problem you don't need to learn s19 code. You must only something like encoder0_low_threshold= 75; in your program (c and nod s19). You must only replace the 0 (zero) according to your used analog port. For further information refer (...) (23 years ago, 22-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
