    Hi everyone,
          Iam having some problems connecting my polaroid sonar to the
handyboard. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

According to the application notes (from polaroid) i've
connected the flexible cable to the J1 connector as illustrated below
(i hope this is right !)




           ||||||||| ----> staggered pins
           ---------
           |       |  ---------> Black female header
           |       |             (with staggered connections)
           ----------
           |*      |
           |*      |
           |*      |
           |*      | ----------> flexible cable
           |*      |            ( '*' represents the black stripes)
           |*      |            ( this reprsents the pin #1 on the J1)
           |*      |
           ---------
           |       | -----------> J1 connector  on the PCB
           ---------
           1       9 --------> as indicated on the PCB


  My problem is with the staggered connection on the female black header

  If you look at the top view of the female black header pins...they
look like this


          ----------------------
         |   o   o   o   o    | ----> top view of the staggered pin
          | o   o   o   o    o |       connections on the female header
          ----------------------

i want to know which pins on the female header correspond
to pins  1 thru 9 on the J1 connector ?

   in other words in a staggered type does the pin configuration
resemble the figure below?


            -----------------------
            |   2    4     6     8  |
            |   o    o     o     o  | -----> the nubmers 1 to 9
            | 1    3    5     7    9|     correspond to the pins on J1
            | o    o    o     o    o|
            ------------------------




                 Thanks for your patience

                                             Sriram

Sriram, It looks as though the diagram you have is correct. I should warn you that I have a sonar board in which the cable was put on backward by Polaroid manufacturing. There is a manual that you should have for the ranging unit. In the manual (pg (...) (28 years ago, 16-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
