thanx, Jay, that helps quite alot. i had no idea that such a device existed. it looks like it would work nicely, although i'll need to check thier docs to be...
My laptop does not have a serial port. Does anyone has experience if a USB <-> Serial cable/converter will work with the BASICX programming tool? Not sure if I...

I'm trying to slowly drive a small 14-pole, 12-coil brushless outrunner motor via three channels of H-bridge and all three BX-24 PWM signals that synthesize...
Hi everyone. I'am trying to make a Basicx BX24P and an AD7710 A/D from Analog Devices to communicate but I am having troubles. Did anyone has experience on...
Tom, Can you post some details of this circuit? One of the sticking points of using Brushless motors for robotics is the relative expense and complexity...
... robotics is the relative expense and complexity (compared to brushed) of the controllers... I agree, and I think that still stands. The motor I happen to...
Here's a 60-second per rotation 3-phase driver that uses a Block Data vector. If anyone wants it, I'll post the Block Data file, which is a 4389-sample 8-bit...
hai Tom Becker i saw your BLDD motor drive specicfication, it was simply superb. but i need a detail about universal motor diagram and specicfication. if you...
I've got wall-to-wall shag carpet in my living room. Can the Robodyssey work on this, or does it prefer a flat surface? Some 2 wheel robots (2 main wheels,...
A tutorial article I wrote describing how to get started using the BX-24 and other NetMedia devices is appearing in an amateur radio magazine called "CQ...
Eric, The mouse has nice wide skateboard wheels so those should do well on shag. But, there are a few edges on the chassis that carpet may snag on. But, I ...
... Hi Eric, I teach robotics and own about 30 of the Mouse robots. My students and I have run them on various surfaces, but never on thick, shag carpet. So...
[Moderator's note: This message is a reply to a three-year-old thread started by Don Kinzer. IMO, it belongs on a Parallax forum, where it is likely to be...
It's always interesting to look back and wonder why we took a certain path to where we are now. Certainly, the Basic Stamp had a great tutorial book and had a...
Cloxwerx I need to reiterate what Dennis has said. I too used a number of stamps in projects, but the one day I needed to do some maths, and the stamp could...
Can a variable be used in the getpin(pin) command? something like: pinnmbr = 13 pinval = getpin(pinnmbr) I have quite a large program to control 3 intelligent...
Sure. Here's two loops to float all BX-24 pins, for example: public sub Power_FloatPins() dim bX as byte for bX = 5 to 20 call PutPin(bX, bxInputTriState) ...
... Wow, that's going well beyond normal expectations, Chris! I checked out your site and I am amazed at how much effort you put into it. I work with book...
I have a small pile of BX-24s that I've set aside as I've suspected that each had developed an apparently bad pin. I have surely smoked a few processors but...
If you have wanted to try deep-infrared thermopile detectors but found $16 each too steep, Harbor Freight is selling a non-contact thermometer that uses such a...
... I just read this article, Dennis. This is a good intro for newbies to the BasicX. Your programs can both generate CW and decode CW. The decoding is...
BX24 is working very well under Window 98. However, it is not working under Window XP. I got the following error message. "EEPROM downloaded error" I already...
... "ppdrv.reg" is apparently an anti-virus tool. I doubt that it has any involvement. Is this the same error as your August message? Did you solve that? The...
I'm trying to convert decimal numbers to binary form, and I've run into a problem. I need the exponent of a loop counter, but I get a "float mantissa" error...
