It suggests you are not loading lib_hb.c on start up. If you type list files at the IC command line you should see this file listed, as well as any others. If it isn't there, check your lib_hb.lis file and be sure lib_hb.c is listed in it. (...) (26 years ago, 1-May-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

If you only use one motor controller IC you can use the 16 pin socket of the second motor control to get 4 more outputs. Then you can connect the INIT and BINH to these and have Port D control your V2x compass. All you have to do is modify your (...) (26 years ago, 1-May-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
