Hi, I'm trying to interface the FerretTronics Servo Controller Chip FT639, to the handyboard using PA7. How can i modify the pa7_9600.asm file to transmit at 2400 baud? thanks, phet (27 years ago, 15-Feb-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

The handyboard has to stay in special test mode so that it can switch into and out of 'single chip' mode at will. This is necessary to operate the LCD (which uses either a clever or gross hack depending on your taste). If you are writing code using (...) (27 years ago, 14-Feb-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) In my experience, it doesn't matter how slow the pulse is. The count is increased each time the analog port value crosses outside of the middle range defined by the two threshold values as shown below (please note that you'll need to view this (...)

Yes -- I didn't think very hard and in retrospect it's fairly evident that Jan-Sipke's code is just the starting step. Sorry for being such a blunderhead.

Everyone is complaining about the price of LEGO motors. There is a new product, a gear reduction motor, that is a great value. It is a super efficient DC motor with a built in gearbox that can be used for direct drive, or with one stage of gear (...) (27 years ago, 13-Feb-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Sipke obviously realizes that more work is needed, and justs want to get to step 1 first by recognizing the interrupt. That is exactly what I would do too. I've been thinking about writing an interrupt-driven serial receive routine too, but (...) (27 years ago, 13-Feb-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Jan-Sipke, You're really pretty far away from having this work. It's not just a matter of redirecting the serial interrupt; when you get there, you have to: * store incoming character in a buffer * advance the buffer pointer * check the buffer for (...)
