If anyone has had any experience with this one or its siblings, please
share your thoughts. I would be grateful for any further info.  :)

Hi,

I have some motor trouble. I have two motors. I have a polaroid sonar.
When I run one of the motors, the sonar works. When I run the other motor,
the sonar's detected distance jumps arround randomly. The randomness seems

doesn't.
It's funny, cause the sonar and the motors and the HB are powered

Has anyone experienced something like this?
Thanks for any input.  :)

Mar, You might want to try attaching a small (0.1uF) capacitor to the motor leads as close as possible to the motor. Use a ceramic or monolithic ceramic capacitor. That might reduce the motor noise your sonar board sees. Also remember that even (...) (28 years ago, 21-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
