Hi. I have a few questions related to the handyboard:
1) In the "How to connect DC motors to HB" paper, it says to use .1 inch
male headers to connect the wire leads to. Can anyone give me a less
general specification for these male headers?
2) Is there any way to connect more than four motors to the HB without
adding a motor controller chip or expansion board?
3) Is the knob easy enough to use as an encoder??? (seems a bit tough to
move)
3) Can anyone give me a reference to a supplier of cheap sensors, such as:
i) IR sensors (proximity)
ii) any range sensor (what's best?)
iii) easy-to-use encoders (can do analog, so would u suggest
potentiometers to measure how far up or down a shaft goes?)
iv) photoresistors
Sincerely,
Yoni Garbourg
