As they used to say on Saturday night live "Never mind." After sending off my e-mail, I decided to remove my modem and network PCMCIA cards. That solved my problem, everything is working again. I don't recall reconfiguing the cards or adding any new (...) (27 years ago, 20-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

That was my whole problem. When I started up interactive C it used lib_r22.lis not lib_hb.lis. I deleted lib_r22.lis and manually loaded lib_hb.lis onto the board. Everything works fine. I appreciate all the help. chris rhodes (27 years ago, 19-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi Craig, I am hardly an expert at this stuff as you can see from my posts.

You are using the wrong library files. Make sure the IC application is set up to use lib_hb.lis, not lib_r22.lis, and get the library files from the HB Software Resouces page. Fred In your message you said: (...) (27 years ago, 18-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Your problem appears to be the LCD module.

This is because it trys to (...) (27 years ago, 16-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
