Has anyone had any luck ordering IC online from DMSC? I ordered mine last week, and the seven days is up with no response, and no permanent license key. I can't seem to find any e-mail address for customer support other than webmaster@, anyone know (...) (27 years ago, 2-May-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) You might try using PortD (the header poking out of the lower right side of the LCD) /* set DDRC */ poke(0x1009,0x3c); #define PD2 0b000...000100 /* aka MISO */ #define PD3 0b000...0001000 /* MOSI */ #define PD4 0b000...00010000 /* SCK */ (...)

I just wanted to share my enthusiasm for the HB! Yesterday I took a robot I was involved in creating to a the first American Nuclear Society Robotics and Remote Systems Division Student Robotics Competition. I am glad to say that the HB was the key (...) (27 years ago, 2-May-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | digital output
|
|
Has anyone used any external devices with the HandyBoard that require a digital output from the microprocessor, such as pin PA6 or PA7? Currently there is an IR transmitter on PA6, and we want to use such an output to open/close a gripper of a robot (...) (27 years ago, 2-May-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Problem in program
|
|
Greetings everyone! I'm working on a navigation program that has a funny quirk in it. I'm hoping one of you IC pros can explain my error. As far as reading the info from the sensors (RS 40 Khz IR module) and activating the motor ports, it works (...) (27 years ago, 1-May-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) I haven't tried this, but there is a dos command which will allow you to display a file 1 page at a time. Try the "Type" command then "file name" you want to see, followed by a pipe (| shift-backslash), "more" command, then enter. If this (...) (27 years ago, 30-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I was just wondering if anyone knew of a better way to see all of the functions when you type list functions on the DOS IC screen. On my P166 it is nearly impossible to press the enter key and then the Pause button before all of the functions have (...) (27 years ago, 30-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi all, my IR just doesnt budge.... I poke(0x1000, 0x40) at the C: prompt and connected the oscilloscope to the IR LED. The oscilloscpe showed a straight line at about 5Volts. I tried using Radio Shack IR sensor card and but didnt find any trace of (...) (27 years ago, 30-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Imagine me... answering somebodys IC question....Anyway, in response to Bill Conroy's question, when using the IC dos version, there is a way to see the entire "list function".

Are you sure you are using the Handy Board libraries? Make sure that you are set up to load "lib_hb.lis" and NOT "lib_r22.lis". -Fred (...) (27 years ago, 30-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Fred (or anyone), I'm working with a group trying to interface Scott Edward's Mini-SSC II with the HB.

Bill, If you use the windows IC you won't have this problem. As for the Dos version, I had the same problem, but never figured out how to either slow it down or pipe it to more. My suggestion, just use the windows IC. :) (27 years ago, 30-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi. I'm trying to connect a Sharp GP1U58Y 38KHz IR detector to one of the analog inputs. The problem is that the device outputs a voltage and doesn't seem to be pull down transistor device so the internal 47K pullup seems to be messing it up. Any (...)

Hi, the parts list for the Handyboard doesn't list a part number for a ceramic resonator, only for an 8mHz crystal. Does anyone know the number for the substitute ceramic resonator? Thanks, Duncan (27 years ago, 28-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi, I can't locate the Sharp IS1U60 IR demodulator anywhere. Everyone seems to be out of stock or requires a minimum order. Has anyone had any luck getting one of these recently? Thanks, Duncan (27 years ago, 28-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

The current still goes through the chip. 1 amp max. But now it will get more hot cuz you disipate more power accross the integrated transistors with the higher voltage.
