Ed, Yes, I got round the problem by using the Newton labs IC 3.1 Beta, which does all the downloading itself. After a couple of tries, it told me that it had reset the config register. I never managed to change it with hbdl, and now I only use IC (...) (28 years ago, 3-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) In regular C, you just ask for what you want by declaring the convert in a statement like... Knob_value = knob(); How_much = float(knob_value); servo_deg(How_much); or save a variable with... Knob_value = knob; servo_deg(float(Knob_value)); (...) (28 years ago, 2-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Duh- sorry I just realized that you just typecase the variable however you want it to be. Anyway- visit my hardware hacks page for a laugh if you have time. -Ira (28 years ago, 1-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Hi folks a question about ic.
|

Hi, is there some kind of integer to float call in ic? I am trying to write a test servo routine that takes the knob() value and turns the servo to that number of degrees using servo_deg() which takes a float. Any ideas? My board was just recenly (...)

Hi- I'd like to separate my display from my handyboard and wire it via ribbon wire so I can view it remotely. Can I do this? How far away can I have the display from the board until it is unable to fully transmit a signal? Thanks, Mike Degon (28 years ago, 31-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I've got this old Radio Shack RC car that I want to use as a chassis for the HB I'm building. It is the same type car that the Mobot Lab used to build Tom and Jerry. I no longer have the box and I ripped the RC board out of it long ago. How can I (...) (28 years ago, 30-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

For the HB, when do you draw 500mA? When you put the interface on "Zap Charge", do you lower the voltage less that 12V? What about when you "trickle" it? Hihger that 12V? (...) (28 years ago, 29-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

this is correct. normal dc adapters are unregulated and there is a reciprocal relation between voltage and current. when you just plug it in and and measure voltage, current is 0 and hence voltage is higher than the spec. if you draw the rated 500 (...)
