Hi Everyone!
If anyone gets the interface to work, I'd love to post it on my site along
with the appropriate references and credits.  It would be neat if the
sensor works with the HB!

Good luck!

Hi all,
I'm now building the ultrasonic sensor from kam leang's page, did anyone
interface it with handyboard?? Can anyone give me some advice on driving it?

Just so I'm clear, ref pink book page 10-17.
Does the "bit_set( 0x1021, 1 );" refer to bit 0 -EDG3B, and
bit_clear( 0x1021, 2 ); " refer to bit 1 -EDG3A.
This is what was throwing me, I always thought bits started at zero and
ended at 7, not 1 to 8 as appears to be the case here. Is this what the
"zero-indexed " means?

sorry if it's a basic question, but if you don't ask you never learn :-)

No, that's a very good question. It had me confused, too. The second argument
to bit_set and bit_clear is not actually the index of a bit at all; it's a bit
mask.

For example, when you do bit_set( 0x1021, 3 ), the 3 becomes 0000 0011 in • binary, so it will set the last two bits of the address. Hope this helps!

  Getting the L297 into wave drive mode
 
Hi I'm using the L297/L298 chip configuration to run 4-phase unipolar stepper motors. Currently I'm driving them in half-step mode but I'm not getting enough torque.. :( Has anyone successfully gotten the L297 chip into wave drive mode? I believe I (...)
