  Re: Reducing Battery Pack Voltage
 
as has been discussed on this list, the Handy Board wasn't really designed for three volt toy motors. Reducing the voltage and doubling the motor chips is a reasonable approach, however. The Handy Board requires 7.2 volts to operate, because of the (...) (28 years ago, 1-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Reducing Battery Pack Voltage
 
U can use an external battery with the HB. It can be 3V. Check the FAQ in the HB HP.

  Re: Reducing Battery Pack Voltage
 
I think I might have wrote something wrong before. I said that you can use an external battery of 3V. I take it back. Sorry... I didn't realise that it would only work for 6 volts to 36 volts. Ooops. :b ericson mar Master of Engineering Candidate (...) (28 years ago, 1-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Reducing Battery Pack Voltage
 
Hi Fred I am attemping to run two low voltage DC motors (as motors 0 and 1), around 3V each(I don't have specs). I have piggybacked two of the motor driver chips (and maybe adding a third) to handle the higher current but they are still getting (...) (28 years ago, 1-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
