Archive-name: auto/comp.robotics/Mini-Board-2-0-new-sensor-documentation-now-on-line

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.
