Hi, I'm kinda working threw the idea of using processes in the programe. But am having a bit of trouble. When I run in with the bumper process, I have no...
There is another potential level of confusion in your program. You are calling the actual robot control functions from within your sensor processes. The...
I agree, I realize that I have done a poor job of writing code for my bot. I have read several site on the subject of behavioral based programing. But still...
Hello, I have hooked up two breakbeam sensors (one for each wheel - not quadrature) one of them is an H21A1 and the other is an NTE3101 which is supposed to be...
Don't be overcritical, you have to start somewhere. It is great that you are experimenting with the capabilities of the language. There are a large number of...

Hello All, My charger/serial interface board went bad,R-11, R-12 and LED 14 appears to be burned. I have 17.25 volts across D-2 and 5.09 volts acrossC-14. The...
I would disconnect the NiMH battery while charging it to be sure there are no undesired power levels to the handyboard. With no other source of power, you will...
Hello, I've been putting together my 'bot from parts that I have either scavenged, or bought on the cheap, and so far its going pretty well (considering)....
Thanks Jim, I will let all know if any problems with the setup. Terry ... From: Jim Peterson To: handyboard@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, September 09, 2006...
The HB's charge circuit was not designed for NiMH. If you always use trickle mode, and you are careful to unplug when battery gets warm, it will probably be...
... My 'bot uses an R/C car as a base. Its motor driver was rather pathetic, and I would have had to do so much work to make it useful that I decided it would...
Most hobby equipment uses servo control signals. The handyboard with the expansion board has 6 servo control signals. Triffid has a mod to control 8 servos in...
Ha - I believe you've inspired the name of my next robot... I've been reading up on some of the robots created by David Anderson on the Seattle Robotics web...
Hi Triffid, Thanks for the info! I'll do some digging and see if I can find something same/similar. Have you got as far as navigating around with your robot...

Any have any info on continuous rotation hobby servos' RPMs? Anyone ever did any tests of any king with different brands and posted on the net? Thanks. Ericson...
The typical hobby servo is rated at 60degrees in .19 seconds at 4.8 volts is typical. The time drops to typically .15 seconds at 6.0 volts. These rates don't...
