Hello, This is my second message for today, for those who are sleeping... By the way, it's 2 PM in my little country, and today is a good, but strange day! I explain: This morning (for me), I send you a mail because I could not load pcode_hb.s19 I (...) (28 years ago, 14-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi everybody, I have got a problem when trying to download the config register, with the two ways I know: 1/ HBDL for WIN begins to download it but befire the end, it stops and writes: "Bad config register (0x0D), try again". 2/ I lunch "dlm (...)

(...) OK. Thanks for letting us know. I have updated the FAQ to reflect your observation. (...) Can you try -not- loading your modified servo.c and see if you can get the A5 servo to work? Make sure neither servo.c nor servo.icb is loaded, and then (...) (28 years ago, 13-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi. I had to remove the CTRL-M's from the file. After I did that it loaded into IC no problem. So the MS-DOS v3.1 beta 4 of IC doesn't handle them. But I came across another problem. For the C wrapper code for the servo_a5 routines I just modified (...) (28 years ago, 13-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Maria, Can you follow the instructions for prepping ICB files at (URL) let us know if that solves the problem? I had been told that this problem was solved in the 3.1 versions of IC, but perhaps not. Thank you, Fred In your message you said: (...) (28 years ago, 13-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi, I'm using IC v3.1 beta 4. When I try to load the servo_a5.icb and the servo_a7.icb that I downloaded from the handyboard web page I get the following error: Fatal internal error: Illegal line in .s19 file And then it completely kicks out of IC.

I'd like to incorporate a pryroelectric IR detector into my robot design. "Mobile Robots" has some detail on sensors, but I'd like to keep it cheap. I have an out-of-service Heath/Zenith motion detector lying about - is the sensor within similar to (...) (28 years ago, 12-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | R/C cars as robot chassis
|
|
Here is a rule of thumb to keep handy when converting R/C cars to robots; o If the R/C car used either NiCd batteries, or it had a NiCd battery pack, the motors will draw too much current for the Handyboard. This is strictly true of any controller (...) (28 years ago, 12-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

From your post it seems that only one battery was used. It is best to have the motor(s) running from a separate battery. Apropriate capacitors for RF noise and large start up currents should be considered. Have fun! (...) Peter (...) ---...--- Ed (...) (28 years ago, 12-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Peter I tried to do modify a racer and found that the motors drew so much current that the board would continually reset. Another problem with the racers is that they are geared for high speed, not torque. I ended up making a circular frame and (...) (28 years ago, 12-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
