- I have re-formatted and placed in the "pub/miniboard/docs" directory
- two excerpts from the "6.270 Robot Builder's Guide" that are relevant
- to Mini Board projects:
-
- * The file "sensors.PS" illustrates how to build a variety of common
- robotics sensors which are compatible with the Mini Board.
-
- * The file "chapter6.PS.Z" is a link to the Chapter 6 from the Builder's
- Guide, which describes the theory of operation of the sensors
- illustrated in the previous pages. (Note that this file is stored in
- binary compressed form, using Unix compress, so it must be transferred
- using FTP binary mode.)
-
-
- I hope this additional information is valuable!

- (how-to FTP information follows.)
-
- Full documentation for the Mini Board is available via anonymous FTP
- to "cherupakha.media.mit.edu" (Internet 18.85.0.47). Go to
- "pub/miniboard" directory and begin by reading the README file located
- there. You will need a PostScript printer to print out the
- documentation files.
-
- People who don't have access to anonymous FTP can do FTP-by-mail,
- provided as a public service by DEC. Send a message containing the
- single word "help" to "ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com" for instructions. You
- probably will want to start your queries by retrieving the file named
- "allfiles.ftp", which is at the top-level directory of our FTP server.
- This file is a recursive directory listing of all files on the server.
