Very, very nice debut. Very well thought out and designed, and excellent models, with a wry sense of humor. :-) Can't wait to see more. Ed commented on the resolution. I don't mind it too much - it's not hard to switch down to 640 x 480. You asked (...) (27 years ago, 30-Oct-98, to lugnet.build, lugnet.publish)

I just finished adding the motor output circuit to my HB. I have built and tested the interface board. I connected the interface board to the HB to download the test code to test the HB and I keep getting the "wrong port or board mode" error. Not (...)

First you need the source code for IC, the compiler, and apparently Unix since the source code requires some pre-processing and the script to do that works under Unix (which I don't have). An alternative method requires the (...) (27 years ago, 30-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: IR Detection
|
|
Transmission and reception of IR data is quite different from using IR just to bounce it off obstacles to detect their presence. To exchange data with IR you will almost certainly have to use interrupt driven assembler code which can be very (...) (27 years ago, 30-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Looks incredble so far. The photo loading speed was great (but I have a 155 connection). I'd like to see larger photos. The whole web site could be larger - it looks like ti 640x480 resolution.

The card from Radio Shack will indicate whether the LED is illuminated, but it won't tell you whether it's modulated at the proper frequency. Perhaps that could be the (...)
