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 (...)

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)

|

I would suggest that fred is pretty much right on the mark with his suggestions of windows being the problem with DLM. I have noticed that: After using a full sized dos session and turning off emulating screen calls I get fewer errors, unless, 1) I (...) (29 years ago, 21-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi everyone, I've noticed problems with both DL and DLM in certain situations too. At first I used to think that I made a mistake in configuration or ruined a controller somehow. Over time, however, I realized that these programs were finicky about (...) (29 years ago, 21-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Dear Mr. Gleason, I gave up to download pcode from my PC (Dell Dimension XPS133c), and I tried to connect the board to Macinctosh (LC475). Then, I could download pcode and the board run well. As Fred's suggestion, the problem was not your board but (...) (29 years ago, 21-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(Summary - LCD not reading D0 value) Well the parts finally arrived in the mail for me to start working on my HB.

David -- Soldering d0 to +5v certainly can't help; it should be connected to the data bus (pin 9 of the 6811, pin 11 of the RAM, and pin 3 of the 'hc373). (see the cpu and mem schematic). With board power off, check continuity among these (...) (29 years ago, 22-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
