Where on the Handy Board would you plug the 6V into?  and what is the J13
connector for?

Regarding the use of a 6V ni-cad pack to solve my over-voltage
problem in driving small motors, could I still use my current 9.6V pack, but
simply insert a tap into the battery at somewhere close to 6V?  Seems nicer
than buying another battery pack, but only if it would provide the same
current capacity as a 6V pack would...

Yes, and the current capacity would be the same, since excess voltage
gets dissipated in the HB's voltage regulator.

(...) 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)
