 | | Using LEGO active sensors
|
|
I would like to use my LEGO active light sensors with the HB. Has anyone done this without purchasing the commercial expansion board? Can anyone recommend a good way to proceed? Thanks. Jim (23 years ago, 5-Oct-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Running IC w/WME
|
|
I have recently begun using the Handyboard with the non-commercial version of IC. My PC runs Windows ME. I was unable to get IC to communicate with the HB until I booted the PC in safe mode. Are there other ways to handle this problem? Thanks. Jim (23 years ago, 5-Oct-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Usually if I charge the board for a while it will go away or sometimes pressing lightly on the LCD screen while turning the board on will help. This may not be a good sign (...)

Hello Handyboarders, I hve a few questions regarding IR demodulation. Fred's book shows both the GP1US2 and the IS1U60 IR demodulators but only shows how to hook up the GP1US2. I would assume that this is because they would both be wired the same (...) (23 years ago, 28-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

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)

|

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)
