Hi, all... A generic 68HC11 question- I (sorta) got my code running this weekend. I'm trying to get a 68HC11E1 to operate all 4 OC and IC lines on interrupts. I have about 800 instruction cycles spread over 8 interrupt routines. The waveform I'm (...) (28 years ago, 23-Dec-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hello, I'd like my handyboard to communicate with my PC through the serial port. Since I am not a RS 232 specialist, I am looking for code on the PC side. I am using Visual J++ and/or Visual C++ under Windows 95. Thanks for any help. Laurent (...) (28 years ago, 23-Dec-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Perhaps I have just overlooked this in the documentation for the HB and IC. Is there an easy way to control the chip selects Y*? Are they memory mapped or harder to get to than that? Thanks for the info: patrick (28 years ago, 21-Dec-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) The E variant can handle 4 IC lines and 4 OC lines, while the A must do 3 IC lines and 5 OC lines. The IC and OC lines are the way the processor handles timer-sensitive signals, such as RC signals. The Handyboard can handle up to 2 ICs and 2 (...)
