 | | Probs w/ as11_ic in MSDOS?
|
|
Hi all, I'm trying to compile an interrupt routine into an .icb file. However, when I run the as11_ic.bat file on my MS-DOS 286 machine, the routine hangs on the first gcc command. No errors, just goes away forever. Has anyone else run into this? I (...) (29 years ago, 17-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Sony IR Transmission Routine
|
|
Here's an interrupt routine I wrote to emulate Sony remote controls using the IR driver circuitry on the handyboard. The usage instructions are in the file. Note that you will need some IR LEDs and a little bit of circuitry like the one advertised (...) (29 years ago, 20-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Thanks to all who helped me restore my HB back to life. After shorting the battery pack on the board during the last assembly step, it turned out to be only the A1 processor blown. Also, a BIG THANKS to Prabal Dutta at Digital Micro System. I (...) (29 years ago, 20-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | 6V question - is this OK?
|
|
Is this OK for getting 6V to motors connected to the L293s? I tapped off the center of the battery back and get about 6V. I then soldered a wire at that point on the battery pack and then soldered the other end to pin 8 (Vs) of each of the L293s (I (...) (29 years ago, 20-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Sony IR Transmission Routine
|
|
OK, so now we can send and recieve sony IR transmissions. This is so totally cool I just can't believe it. But you know what would make it at least 10E23 times better? If I could re-direct IC so as to not use the serial port, but to use the IR port (...) (29 years ago, 20-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

a wireless serial link requires surgery to IC. the HB side woudn't be bad. on the ic side you'd have to plug into the board comms routines (probably most are stashed away in a single library) and substitute your own code that deal with transmission (...)

| | My handyboard does not run.....
|

Dear Master of HB, I bought a handy board made by Gleason Research (complete set), and connect RS232C cable to my PC. After I put the board into download mode, I put the command "a:> dlm pcode_hb." However, I found the following message on the (...) (29 years ago, 21-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

dlm is apparently having trouble. you've got the right COM port because it's able to get through the first phase of the download (the dots and dashes bootstrap). someone else had problems using dlm on a pentium. it's an aging dos program and i (...)

Dear Mr. Inouye, I am disappointed to hear that your out-of-the-box experience with the Handy Board was not a perfect one. Your board passed all tests, and I believe that Fred's suggestions will solve the dlm difficulty. Please let me know if they (...) (29 years ago, 21-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi all, Given Kazuyoshi and other's problems with DLM, if there are any Windows programmers out there who would want to take a stab at a Windows or W'95 implemention, it would be a Good Thing. I'm afraid I'm not qualified to take this on myself. The (...) (29 years ago, 21-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
