| Tomaso Paoletti has kindly sent me the latest version of his 6811 simulator, easily the best available for the Macintosh. It's available on cher in the projects/6811 directory, but cher is down right now, so you can get it from the HB home page: (...) (28 years ago, 26-Oct-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

It's really not too hard to use, and allows users to create assembly language programs that are callable from IC using the C (...) (28 years ago, 27-Oct-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Handyboard vs. Botboard 2

| Dear Fred and other handyboarders, This might be a strange question for this group. I am busy making a little robotlike object. As I have several Basic STAMPs laying around, I am making it multiprocessor - however, STAMPs don't have interrupts, (...) (29 years ago, 29-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: Run Time error 1

Instead of this, put each of your subprocesses in a loop; e.g: (...) (28 years ago, 8-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I.e., if there is no load, the voltage is higher than the rated voltage; if (...) (28 years ago, 15-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
