Hi all, Some time ago I found a link somewhere on the handyboard page. This link referred to to someone who made a interactive C compiler for Unix environment. I would really like a compiler for the handyboard instead of the the C interpreter.(for (...) (28 years ago, 17-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I too have used a similar technique. I used a 555 timer and a 567 tone decoder instead of a PIC. Using an IR can from Rat Shack, and five ir-LED's I get a sensor that sees straight ahead, 30 degrees and 60 degrees to each side. Set the 555 for about (...)

Hi Bill, Are you able to transmit IR beams through more than one LED (eventhough the handy board has only one LED driver port). If this is part of your IC code, could u please mail it to the net. Thanks Sriram (28 years ago, 15-Feb-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
