Fellow HB friends, With the creation of the new folder for distribution, I decided to put it to use. I have uploaded the following files to cher.media.mit.edu: 257 "/pub/incoming/ic_co...ib/dnegro" is current directory. -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp system 5239 (...)

(...) I totally agree. There are several thigns that I have written that I would like to share, but I don't know of a place to do it. Clint, maybe you'd like to start up a little stash of IC files? Or should there just be a spot on cher? *Brian (...) (29 years ago, 1-Mar-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

|
|
One of the things that has always perplexed me about Interactive C is the lack of a software support site. It seems that with all of the people using it to write programs for their robots, surely someone would have started collecting/distributing (...)

| | Re: Zero Page Variables?
|

David, I believe that IC never actually supported zero page variables; it was documented as a feature but never implemented. Your solution of using the indexed registers is what I was going to suggest. -Fred -- This message was composed using (...) (29 years ago, 29-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Zero Page Variables?
|
|
IC gurus, I am trying to port some of my IR routines to IC and I am having trouble. I use some bit operations on variables, but this means that the variables must be in the ZP. I converted the variables to be anywhere in the RAM but then I have to (...) (29 years ago, 29-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

The botboard does not incorporate motor drivers; the Handy Board does. The handy board is smaller, and fits into a commercial plastic enclosure with the battery pack underneath. The botboard has prototype area; the handy board does not. The handy (...) (29 years ago, 29-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

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)

Hi, It's me again. If anyone has followed the questions I have been asking, you'll see that I am learning, slowly, how to get an interrupt routine trigger on both rising and falling edges of a PORTA line. After much help from this list and Fred (...) (29 years ago, 28-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | IC 3.1 Beta4 occasioanlly hangs up Geoport
|
|
Fred, Randy: I noticed that when I use IC 3.1 B4 while I am online (Power MAC 7100/66, Geoport, MACPPP connection) it hangs up (occasionally) the line. It mostly happens if Netscape was used prior to IC invocation. Couple of time it happened in (...) (29 years ago, 23-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

|

There is no recommended way. I've got a pretty simple bipolar H-bridge design that you can connect up pretty easily using an opto isolator and get 3 - 6amps of control and software compatibility. Unfortunately I'm not in the kit business nor do I (...) (29 years ago, 23-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Fred, (et al) Actually I did test to make sure that the LCD was receiving the signal. And indeed it was. I did this before I posted and thought I made it clear. So I guess my problem should have been directed elsewehere since it is not entirely HB (...) (29 years ago, 22-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

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)

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.

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.
