(...) Your LCD is bad. Either the logic to it is in error (check for an open on the E pin) or the LCD itself is non-functional. If IC cannot talk to the LCD it won't run. (27 years ago, 23-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

OK everyone. I put Tom's stuff online, see the HB HP (handy board home page :-). -Fred P.S. Tom, check your color table the next time you make a GIF. Somehow your black and white schematic GIF got saved with 256 colors (255 blacks and 1 white), (...) (27 years ago, 23-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi, I am still trying to get the PC-Handyboard connection to work. I got as far as downloading the pcode_hb.s19 file successfully. After I turn the main board power off and back on (reset), I should get a message on the LCD screen ("Interactive-C v (...) (27 years ago, 22-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi Keith. Send it to me and I'll post it for all. Please send as a GIF not JPG as this is better for line art & text (i.e., a schematic). I can decipher just about any encoding format so use whatever's easiest for you. -Fred In your message you (...) (27 years ago, 22-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Speaking of good books: It seem the majority of books you can pick up is on "ideal" electronics. The "ideal" transistor, the "ideal" op-amp, the "ideal" circuit! What about a book that tells you when you should put a capacitor of XuF across Vcc and (...) (27 years ago, 22-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I have finally debugged my IR proximity sensor circuit and I want to post it to the group. My question is what is the best way to post it? I can put it into a JPG file but I don't want to just send it to the whole group at once. Fred, can this go on (...) (27 years ago, 22-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
