MMB tutorial

Hello.

I'm as green as summer grass.· I just purchased a MMBe to control a DC motored actuator.· I can't find any tutorials that deal specifically with the MMBe, and it didn't come with any manuals or documentation.· Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Steve Joblin

what is a MMBe?

The documentation and sample programs are available through links on the web store page for the Motor Mind B as is the practice for pretty much everything that Parallax sells. Here's the web store page: www.parallax.com/Store/Microcontrollers/BASICStampModules/tabid/134/List/1/ProductID/66/Default.aspx?txtSearch=motor+mind+b&SortField=ProductName%2cProductName.

There's also a Nuts and Volts column (#58) that discusses the Motor Mind B. Here's a link to the volume 2 list: www.parallax.com/Resources/NutsVoltsColumns/NutsVoltsVolume2/tabid/446/Default.aspx.

Mike... you never cease to amaze me! I would never have guessed "MMB" = "Motor Mind B"... thanks!

I don't know why. Every bit of Parallax literature, every bit of MMB literature refers to it as the MMB. "Connect pin 4 of the MMB to.."; "The MMB is a full featured..."; etc.

Anyway, thanks again Mike.
