hi,
I noticed that the picture of the HB in the Web page is slight different
from mine. There is no thick trace on my HB to be cut. However, the HB in
the web page has a thick trace on it ? My version of the board is 1995,
Fred Martin.

Please help. I do not know where to cut it . Maybe,  can I do proceed in
such a way that I mention to you of how I connect up the power-up the HB
externally ?

Using a Separate Motor Power Source:

HI,
Currently, I'm using 2 dc motors to drive my robot. The voltage of the
motor is 12v rated. and the rated current is 300mA. These motors are
directly plug into the HD for use. As
a result, the robot cannot travelled fast and sometimes halt suddenly • due
to the insufficient voltage . How should I supply a 12v souce to such • motor
which 12V on the HD ?

I am trying to use this method :
Firstly, I connect both the motor's wires to a external driver IC 298.
Next, I extend out the wire  from the IC 298 to the Motor Port 2 and 3. • I
supply the voltage source using external alkaline battery of 12 V (Each
battery is 1.5) to the Driver IC298. Is there any danger that will • damage
the HD or the Motor itself for such connection ?

Please help. I really need this information urgently. Thank you very • much.

rgds,
phillip

(...) Sorry, I cannot help you. My board look exactly like the one on the picture. It's a Handy Board v.1.2 I bought assembled from Glasson Research. Does somebody knows what board Phillip is using? -- Eric (26 years ago, 1-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
