  IC memory map
 
(...) Right now, IC reserves 16k for shared code and data space. 8k is for the multitasking stacks and interaction download space, and 8k is for pcode. -- Randy (29 years ago, 12-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  tables
 
Hi, Can anyone tell me how to store a big table of data that the handy board has collected into a file for permanent storage? Thanks, -Dirk (29 years ago, 13-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: HB
 
HI Check for a short between pin 11 of the 'hc374 and +5V. Pin 11 is supposed to be connected to pin 9 of the 'hc138. It is the select line for the 8 flip-flops in the 374. If you have a logic probe, check either of these pins. They should be (...) (29 years ago, 15-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  strange encoder problem
 
I'm using a hall effect sensor as a shaft encoder. 8 magnets have been placed on a wheel of my bot, such that they turn the sensor on and off as they pass by. I have written a small program to test the encoder, which makes the robot go forward 10 (...) (29 years ago, 15-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  sony ir
 
Thanks to Joeo for the hints on caputuring data from the handyboard. I have another question: Why does my sony infrared system stop working after calling a function which I have defined in an icb file? I have a number of functions defined in that (...)

  Re: sony ir
 
Dirk, Without actually seeing your icb function, it would be hard to determine exactly what is going on. But here are some guesses: 1) When you are modifying control registers in MC, make sure that you use bit commands so that you don't set or erase (...)

  Serial Com.
 
The FAQ has information on sending and receiving info thru the serial port. My Question is: How do I do the other end in C. This is what I got the computer side of the serial cable: port = open("/dev/ttyS3",O_RDWD); <- THis is from my head, not (...) (29 years ago, 16-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Handyboard Kit.
 
Hi to everyone, I just got my Handy Board Kit and going through the very first step of the assembly i found the first problem. In the handy board assembly instructions it describes capacitors C15 and C16 as 4.7uF Tantalum capacitors but in my kit (...) (29 years ago, 17-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  encoders
 
So, nobody has any experience with hall effect sensors as encoders, eh? :-) (29 years ago, 17-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Handyboard Kit.
 
(...) That is a mistake in the directions. They should be 47uF axials, like you have. I will fix this now. -Fred (29 years ago, 17-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) if your counting program is written in IC, and not assembly lang, it might be too slow and occasionally miss counts. -F (29 years ago, 17-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Servo Motor
 
Hello! Could anybody please tell me the proper step in controlling the servo motor by HB ? ^s I connected the servo motor to the HB and typed in the servo motor control functions but none of them are working... Thanks in advance. (29 years ago, 17-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Where can I get GP1U52X IR sensors?
 
Hello there Handyboard users in the world, I read a lot about these IR sensors: Sharp GP1U52 or GP1U56Y. I would like to use some of these sensors in my own robot, that I build around a 8051 and a Forth interpreter. Now it has a few bumper switches (...)

  Re: Servo Motor
 
Hi Hajime, Here's the rundown for connecting the servo to the Handy Board: 1) Assuming you're using digital port 9, you will need a connector like this: _ =====| |== <--- connect the WHITE wire from the servo here | | <--- remove pin to polarize (...)

  BackLite LCD
 
Hello! Does anyone know of a good backlite LCD display that could be easily be used with the Handy Board (hitachi chipset)? Thanks.. joeo@symtec.com (29 years ago, 18-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  web site update
 
Hi all, I've made some cosmetic changes to the HB web site. If anyone has any feedback, positive or negative, i'd like to hear it. Thanks, Fred (29 years ago, 19-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Electronic Compass?
 
Has anyone gotten a relatively cheap (<$100) electronic compass, like the KVH100, to i/f to the Handyboard? I believe it uses the SPI architecture which matches the Handyboard. * Michael L. Ross/C33 | Lockheed Engineering & Sciences Co.**** * (...) (29 years ago, 19-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Electronic Compass?
 
(...) I messed with the Vector2X (~$50 from Jameco) on the miniboard. It was supposed to have a SPI compatible bus, but I couldn't get it to work with SPI bus. I got it to work with one of the other IO ports. Using the handyboard with IC might make (...) (29 years ago, 19-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
