  Re: Handyboard construction problems
 
Jonathan: Recently had the same problem myself. One of my colleagues passed on a little utility he wrote ( load68hc11 ) which set my config register just fine. I could then use HBDL for uploading programs. I sent the loadhc11 to fredm for him to (...) (27 years ago, 23-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Handyboard construction problems
 
I am in the process of assembling a Handyboard. All had gone well until I got to the stage where you download the code to the HB for the first time. This is before the memory is installed. I used HBDL to download with the register set to 0x0c. I got (...) (27 years ago, 23-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  RC motor connection
 
Hi, Did anyone know how to connect commercial electronic speed controllers to HB for powering high-current RC (20A to 100A) motors? Billy Kwong (27 years ago, 22-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Rob Gaunts Last Message
 
Whoa, i just realized that the instructions *are* correct. Here's why. For this voltage test, the instructions assume you are powering your board from the DC adapter. This should give the 15 volts mentioned, unless: * you hooked up the battery pack (...) (27 years ago, 22-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Rob Gaunts Last Message
 
(...) the instructions are wrong -- you should be seeing about 9v, which is the voltage on the nicad pack. i will revise the instructions. thanks for pointing out the problem. fred (27 years ago, 22-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I sent out a message few minutes ago listing all sorts of problems I was having. Don't worry about it. I just figured it all out. I was using lib_r22.lis instead of lib_hb.lis in IC. Now things are working fine except that the voltage at pin 8 of (...) (27 years ago, 22-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Digital Ins and Motor Outs
 
I have succesfully loaded pcode_hb.s19 and run IC with my Handyboard (finally). However, I am having a few problems with the digital inputs and the motor outputs. The Start and Stop buttons work fine when testing the digital inputs using the (...) (27 years ago, 22-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Greetings, Just an FYI for everyone, I noticed a promo on the Discovery Channel that will feature a small robot. Strangely, the segment is to feature deformed frogs also.

  Re: Board synch problem

  Re: Board synch problem
 
two things you can try: 1. use DLM to download the CONFIG0C.S19 file. Make sure to use the -eeprom flag. This will cause it to burn the config register to the proper value. 2. Have you tried Randy Sargent's DL.EXE for DOS / Win 3.1 full screen DOS (...) (27 years ago, 20-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Board synch problem
 
I'm not sure if my follow up message made it, appears to have bounced. Just in case, the problem resolved when I took out the modem and network cards. Interestinly, the handyboard battery was nearly discharged when the problem surface. The cards had (...) (27 years ago, 20-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Board synch problem
 
I've noticed the only limited success I've had downloading pcode_hb.s19 is - with older slower systems that have _no_ modem cards installed using dlm - with win95 or win311 systems using hbdl with no modem cards as well. The hbdl downloads them (...) (27 years ago, 20-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

last week someone reported solving this by letting the battery charge. let us know if that works. am assuming that nothing changed in your config (cpu, cables, etc). fred In your message you said: (...) (27 years ago, 20-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Board synch problem
 
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)
 
  Board synch problem
 
My board has been running well for a few months. Last week it would not sychronize with IC 3.1. Also, no initial LCD display and heartbeat.

  lib_hb.lis
 
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)
