Notes: My name is Jamie Varney and I have a degree in Electronics Electronic Engineering from DeVry University. I am currently looking for a job so if you know of a good one please let me know. Robotics has always been an interest of mine, and probably always will be. I see an amazing future ahead, and I hope to be part of it.
I have the entire thing wrapped, but I am having major issues with the reset circuit. The 80188EB is EXTREAMLY touchy about its reset input. I have tried several different circuits including a RC circuit ran through a Schmitt trigger, and a TL7705 reset chip. I dontt understand the TL7705, twice I have wired it just as the data sheet show, however I get 2.5 volts on reset and /reset at all times. When I trip the /resetin I get about 1.3 volts on both pins. This makes no since to me since I have seen many people use this chip on their board with no problem. Out of several thousand resets (with the RC circit) I have only got it to work right twice, and both time it ran for more then 30 minuets, so I know that I don¡¦t have any problems with my setup (other then the reset that is ). If anyone has any idea on how I can get this thing to reset right please e-mail me at Anime2Envy@insight.rr.com, the project is due by Tuesday f¼
Anyway back to robotics. I have plans to use this board as a robotics platform. I have all kinds of ideas in my head on how I can make it work. I also believe that this robot can be used as my senior project when the time comes. Just need to get the board working first.
Anyway, ¡¥till next time.
