I have a Handyboard with the expansion board. I'm building an
interactive sculpture with the board. This is my first use of my
Handyboard. I would like to hook up five or six stepper motors to the
board. The motors I'm using are scrapped from old 5-1/4 floppy
drives. They're all the 5 wire variety. Is this possible?
Otherwise, I have some DC motors I can use. I know that I can use
four easily from the Handyboard itself, have tested them out and know how
to control them. How many DC motors can I hook up to the expansion board
and how do I control them?
Also, is there any way that the Handyboard can recognize sound
volume input from a mic? I want to slow the motors based on the volume of
sound.
I'm working with IC v3.2. Any sites that would give examples of
coding and schematics would be helpful.
Thanks,

| Hello, From the book "Mobile Robots -- Inspiration to implementation", there is a circuit that used to sample the noise level from the mic. It also comes with Interactive-C source code. I guess this is what you are looking for. Thanks. Patrick Hui (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jun-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
