 | | I miss some nice features in IC 3.1...
|
|
Hi, I'm considering to buy IC 3.1. But when I looked at it's features I fount two nice things to be missing: 1. A build in assembler to create the .icb files 2. An option to compile C code instead of interpreting it. (I saw this very nice feature in (...) (27 years ago, 27-May-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Of all the things in a Robot, motors are in some ways the most difficult to obtain. (...) Both Brevel and Globe make such motors, they typically go for anywhere been $175 each and $500 each.

Is it possible to receive a trial/shareware version of IC 3.1? I don't what to go through the expense of buying the full version unless I know it will do what I need it to do. Thanks in advance. -Brad (27 years ago, 27-May-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Generally, you'd remove lines from your config.sys or autoexec.bat (on c:\) to remove various drivers, if there are some you don't actually need. Networking software on (...)

Randy, Thanks for your help so far, but I have a few questions. How can I remove drivers to get more room. Where can I quickly get a copy of IC 3.1? And how much does it cost? -Joe (...) (27 years ago, 27-May-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I have been having big problems with the programs that I have been writing for my handy board. I currently have around 1400 lines. I expect to have about 2000 when I'm done.

(...) At some point, you may run out of memory on the Handyboard; however, it sounds like IC 2.8 is running out of the 640K DOS-limited memory. You might try removing drivers to get more room in the lower 640K. If you move up to IC 3.1, which is a (...) (27 years ago, 26-May-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

A very simple program which will exercise the motors in this configuration is listed. The first section will put a message on the LCD then wait until the sopt button is pressed. Once the stop button is sensed, it will turn on the motor in port 0. (...) (27 years ago, 26-May-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Where .0068 is the cap, and 32.75 was my desired frequency. So x was determined to be 4.49 (...) (27 years ago, 23-May-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
