I am going to guess this is a software problem on the PC side. If you can boot your computer in DOS mode, try running IC then. Or find an older box :-(. Freeware DOS IC is known to have serial line comms bugs with some fast machines. NT can't be (...) (27 years ago, 27-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

If you want to exaggerate the response, perhaps a LM339 +5v single supply comparator will do. Set up your circuit to go high(+5v) above your 2-3v range of operation. This solves all your input problems. Loads of manufactures make this thing. Data (...) (27 years ago, 27-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi all, has anyone interfaced a microphone to an analog input of the HB?
