I am a vetern kit builder with my roots in the hayday of HeathKit, and I
would like to take the opportunity to thank all concerened in the design and
production of the HandyBoard. Of all the controllers I have purchased this
one has been the most useable, the most fun, and the most user friendly.
Also thanks to the provider, "Digital Micro Systems" for prompt and very
friendly service. They were quick to ship and just as responsive to
questions after the fact. "Well Done!"
I did have a bit of a problem with the instructions and believe the Photo
of HB is the main distraction. It is hard to understand what you are
seeing. I believe a black and white 'Contact' print of the silk screen,
including all VIA's, would have been a little easier to look at. However,
that minor problem does not remove any of the pleasue in the construction
and use of this fine device.
After using HandyBoard for a few weeks, the following is a list of 'wishes'
on further versions of HandyBoard.
1) More Servo control pins. As many as eight.
2) Variable contrast control for LCD panel. (Jumper convert variable pot)
3) More Digital pins.
4) More modulation frequencys (TX & RX) for IR. (100hz, 125hz, 150hz, ect)
5) More programming languages. (Basic, Forth, Lisp, ect)
When this bot, I am working on, becomes 'cast in concrete', I intend to buy
another HandyBoard for my next project.
Thank you, again, for a job well done.

| (...) This may not be EXCATLY what you have requested, but it is a close as I've come! Check out how I've added contrast control to my LCD panel.
