| | PCB for Handy Board
|

Hi all. I'm interested in building a handy board but I haven't seen anything on how to get the PCB. Would it be easier to order a kit with all the parts or should I buy all the parts on the parts list and buy the PCB seperately? Any suggestions (...)

(...) Terry, Don't feel bad, I'm in the same boat on writing that code. But, thanks to everyone's help, I've been learning. Chris Hackett and Pandit Panburana had a good tip on fixing the problem with getting the printf message to LCD consistently. (...) (27 years ago, 12-May-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hooray, my HandyBoard works! My kit from DMSC came in on Friday, and I (a very non-hardware guy) managed to assemble it, thanks to Fred Martin's handy assembly guide. I did run into trouble during step 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 (testing/debugging 'serial line (...) (27 years ago, 12-May-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I am having trouble using the Vector 2x Compass with my handyboard. I have the compass.asm file and the compass.icb file. I loaded the compass.icb file into the lib_hb.lis file so it would load automatically with IC. When I loaded IC, it said the (...) (27 years ago, 9-May-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I *think* rather than /n if you type /m it should be in the second line....I don't remember which letter it is, nor do I have the robotics books near me. Or you can have however many spaces as there are (10? 15?) cursor blanks and leave off the \n (...) (27 years ago, 8-May-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) A simple way to get rid of the DC component is to run the data through a scrambler on the TX side, and descrambler on the RX side.

We did use 900 Mhz Radio Shack RF headphones (cat # 33-1145), which gave us a reasonable analog transmission (the transmitter took L+R RCA audio in, and the we connected in place of the speaker on the receiver). We could get 9600 baud through (...) (27 years ago, 8-May-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
