Hello to all Robo-maniacs!!!
I was just wanted to make sure some thoughts about the Handyboard.

1  Can you connect it with a PC and after you make a programm in C,
   load it in the handyboard (and after disconnection can you apply
   the program on your mobile robot via the handyboard, without
   need the PC)?

2  Can you drive dc motors with the Handyboard without any extra
   card ?

3  Can you adjust the speeed and the direction of the motors
   electronically via the card ?

4  Can you dive servos or stepper motors through Handyboard (I guess
   you need an extra board)?If not what do you need?

5  How could I drive a mobile robot to a sound source? I mean let's
   say that I have a device wich produces ultra sonic sound in a
corner of a room. Is it possible to make the robot detect the
place and the direction of the sound and move towards there ?

6  Give me some examples of Handyboard, on Robotics or Automations
   applications in order to understand its abilities (I mean I 'd
   like to order such a basic device for RobotiX experimentation but
   I just want to be sure that this suits my expectations).

    Try to answer to some, at least, of my questions :-)
ThanX
Ado

(...) Yes. (...) Yes, if the motors draw less than 1Amp of current when stalled. (...) Yes. (...) You can drive bipolar stepper motors using the on board h-bridges. (...) Yes. The typical way to do this would be to attach your directional detector (...) (27 years ago, 17-Nov-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
