Hi, I wanted to put in another plug for the Mobile Robots book -- it contains some great information! I think what Dan's looking for when he mentioned fuzzy...
Hi Dan, Sorry I wasn't clear. Yes, I want to sell the Mindstorms. I made one mobile models using Lego bricks and wanted to mount the HB on it, but never got to...
Dan, Thanks for the link! My knowledge of Fuzzy Stuff is limited, I Have read quite a bit about Neural networks and have done some experimenting with them. My...
Can someone give me detailed instructions on how to connect the Handyboard to the CMUcam? I go through the RJ11 connector right? I tried connecting it already...
Hi Dan, I neglected to tell you about Bert Vandam, he did some fuzzy logic kinds of things with the RCX. A coulpe of years back, When I get the chance I will...
Reg, Myself and Glen Hathaway did all the preliminary footwork in integrating the Handyboard and CMUcam. I have two working robots that use the pair. There is...
Thanks, I guess what I am considering to be fuzzy logic is a robot that is capable of learning from it's mistakes, and one that can express itself according to...
Dan, In answer to your question, NO I never attended MIT. But If I were younger I think I would. Thanks for the link , enclosed is the link for Berts page. He...
Dan, Thanks very much. Just a few quick questions. What do you mean by it requires 6.5 volts to make the onboard regulator work? I thought it requires 6v. It...
Hi, I've always wondered about this. Is there a way to detect when the battery is low? I guess it should be possible to connect the batt led to an input but...
If you want to use the Handyboard power, I suggest tapping the power from any Handyboard port (it is already regulated to 5v). You can bypass the CMUcam...
Dear Colleagues I have recently purchased a few Handyboards for our college. They are all OK, except two of them. In one of them, when the board is turned on,...
I believe I have seen a jumper installed on the expansion board from the + side of j6 to an expansion board ground with What I think was a 5.5Kohm resister...
Hi, I'm using these multitasking commands: int start_process([process], [time], [stacksize]) hog_processor(); and the timing is all wrong. If I run two...
You are correct that the power adapter that comes with the CMUcam is a 6v adapter, and it does work, but what you should know is that it really isn't the best...
The essential question here is What does the the started process do? The function you use for start process must loop or it cannot hog the processor. , the...
Brandon, I like multitasking w/ the HB, but I use a fuction That gives each task the correct amount of time to run.( instead of using ticks.) It gives priority...
Thanks for your response. I am trying to learn about how hog_process() works, so I wrote this piece of test code to try and observe it: void main(void) { int...
Thanks Eric. I did try that first and had the same result as the other way: a brief pause (256 mil?) then equal running time between processes. Brandon ... ...
Brandon, Short of locking into a process, Eric's method should work, try it? If it wasnt robot Firefighting seasn and I didnt have so many issues of my own to...
Hi everybody, I'm having problems with a series of Handyboards I have: 1. Two different boards that used to load PCode now don't. The boards will appear to...
Hello, Is there any way to change the motor output voltage to a DC 5V signal. I want to use the motor outputs to operate 4 switches on seperate motor control...
In response to your power down problem, I seriously doubt the switch is the source of your troubles. If you havent used the HBs in a while I would pull all ICs...
Maurice, It would be possible to use relays, I only say that because I miss my old robots buzzing and clicking! But Fets or Pwr transistors would work fine. ...
