(...) Hmmm... why not do this? Use a 74273 and tie it to the HB's data lines and strobe it with Y0 (or Y2 or Y4)? This would create a latched output "port" at address 0x4000. Tie two of the 74273 outputs to the 'A' side of two [N]AND gates (...) (28 years ago, 7-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I'd agree with this option - I don't need any more inputs, but I do need 4 logical outputs 2-4 Hi-current outputs Serial communications 1 (preferably 2) sonar connectors I could really use that second sonar. I don't suppose there is a way you could (...) (28 years ago, 8-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: expansion board/multiple sonar
 
It's actually a '374 or '373 for outputs. I guess you could use them for inputs too, but you're better off using a '244 for input. Or even a '574, '573, '541, these chips put inputs on one side and outputs on the other. Very convenient. Even (...) (28 years ago, 8-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Sean, Using two of the SPI port pins, and a MUX and DEMUX, you should be able to gang together four of the Polaroid ultrasonic sensors. See if the code below makes sense. I wrote it a while ago, when I wanted more Polaroids, but - I didn't actually (...) (28 years ago, 8-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
