I am thinking of installing several (3) NiCad battery packs (9.6V) in parallel and charge them with the Handyboard. Are there any risks in doing that? Will the...
I am attempting to hook-up an IR Control Freak to the Handyboard and I need to change one if the signal connections from input to output. Can anyone give me...
Your biggest danger here is charge equalisation when the batteries are first connected together. AA NiCad batteries (as used in 9.6v packs) can supply up to...
Along the same lines, the packs will have different internal resistances, and will "fight" eachother as they discharge. This is inefficient and also isn't...

I have been tinkering with the CLI under D.O.S. and I like it so far. It was a bit tricky to learn all the functions available. What should I do to accomplish...
... Um, wow. Congrats on figuring it out, it's pretty esoteric (It's more built as a debugging tool for me at the moment :) ). I'll try and get documentation...
Yes. I meant #use. The #use directive doesn't accept SPACES in the filename. Can you fix this? I guess with Interaction, spying on a global variable is just a...
I didn'tr read the documentation yet, but it appears the control freak wants to do serial communication probably in ascii. I suspect to connect to the...
Ericson, I do Handyboard repairs, all I ask is for shipping to be paid both ways and the cost of parts plus $10 for my service. You can check out my...
I would like to be the first person to extend a welcome hand to Yoda. Welcome to the Intraweb, Yoda! ...if your gonna spam, at least use proper grammar for the...
Dan, This is good to know in general, Most of us have decided that when a Handyboard goes bad it is time to really begin to read and understand the assembly...
i am having issues getting the pulse.icb file to download as an .icb file so i can add that information to the lib. what do i have to do to get this to work?...
Depending on the version of IC. current versions (IC 4.0 and up): #use "pulse.icb" old versions (anything before IC 4.0) include the pulse.icb filename in the...
Hi all, the following code is crashing my compiler. Basically, I'm trying to use start_process in a function, but need to pass a function name for it to start...
That seems a bit better - compiler isn't crashing any more! However, when I hit check, it complains about the asterix in the line: start_process(*addr); Any...
It's impossible to pass function pointers in IC. I tried the exact same thing a while back. Don't worry, the problem isn't you, it's IC. (There's also that...
Hi! I have a handyboard which I hadn't touched in years and just starting to work on it now. I found my 12 V adapter was shorted and have now replaced it but...
if the serial light on the interface board doesn't flash, either your serial cable is mis-wired or there's no data coming from the computer via that port. as...
There are two types of phone cables, inverted and non-inverted. make sure you get the right one or you could damage you board. See intructions at the HB...
IC 5.06 will flash the green LED only once per press of the communication check button. Earlier versions of IC5 may not flash it at all. I noticed Dan...
Would it be reasonable to ask Why??? One alternative would be to have some "well known" functions that you will have to code in your module and then perhaps...
hey guys, Can we use this board to drive a solenoid that requires 5 amperes? If we do not have access to an expansion board, can we have another solution?...
Hey guys, I faced a problem... the current output from the handyboard is inadequate for our motor and we have decided to intergrate a relay circuit to the...
sorry.. but can explain more about this 'high current mosfet' method? thanks.. i am an amateur... =) ... is more than capable of controlling other devices that...

You have four motor controls that can control 1 amp each on the Handyboard. Connect these to through a diode bridge to control power switching transisters (the...
