Where on the Handy Board would you plug the 6V into? and what is the J13 connector for? -John (...) (29 years ago, 6-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
(...) Yes, and the current capacity would be the same, since excess voltage gets dissipated in the HB's voltage regulator. -Fred (29 years ago, 6-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
(...) I'd use 6V instead of the 9.6V main power supply - connect it where the main battery terminals are. It'd be really nice if the handy board had a way to use voltages other than 9.6V for the motor driver chips, ya know. :-) (29 years ago, 7-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
