  Extra HB For Sale
 
I have one extra HandyBoard that I will sell if anyone needs one. It is a fully assembled and tested board with Serial Interface Board and cases. It has never been used in a project (about 2 months old). I built two of these and find that I am only (...) (26 years ago, 10-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Windows NT experiences?
 
I use IC 2.8 under NT with no problems. Before you can use IC under NT, you`ll have to turn off the COM-port your HB is connected to under NT, or else NT won't let IC use it. You can delete the COM port in the `ports` part in you configuration (...) (26 years ago, 10-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  input impedance
 
Does anyone know the impedance onto the sensor inputs on the HB and/or any suggestions for setting them to receive signals sent at 220K Ohm. Joe Martin joema@mpx.com.au (26 years ago, 10-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Windows NT experiences?
 
I've been using IC3.2 on Windows NT/4.0 with very few problems. I used to have IC lock up occasionally, but only when I disconnected the Handy Board at weird times. Once I was more careful about disconnecting the Handy Board only when IC was at a (...) (26 years ago, 9-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Windows NT experiences?
 
Hi all, I was wondering if people would please "share" their experiences running Interactive C on Windows NT. Is anyone using the old freeware DOS IC on NT? Did you have any trouble getting it to work? Please send to the list, or me privately if (...) (26 years ago, 9-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Legos
 
I know someone just asked this question, but where can I buy just the lego motors, and not the $45.00 set from a toy store.

  Re: Include directive, HexMon
 
I had same problem, and found that if you put the include files in the same directory as your file to be complied, and then place the file in quotes (eg. #include "6811regs.asm") it will compile. John (...) (26 years ago, 9-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: serial communications
 
Justin Here is the file. Please feel free to modify/improve. I'm a doctor not a programmer, and I better keep my day job. Notice it borrows Randy Sargent's and Dr. Richard F. Drushel's routines found in serialio.c and math.c, both on the handy board (...) (26 years ago, 9-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  clock signal needed for decoder chip
 
Hello, I am hooking some HP decoder chips to the handyboard. They are HCTL-2020's and they decode a motor position encoder signal. My problem is that I need to hook one of the pins on the 2020 (the CLK pin) to a clock. I'd like to get ahold of the E (...) (26 years ago, 8-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: handshaking
 
(...) Regarding your earlier message, if you're just wanting to talk to a GPS, then you don't need handshaking, because I haven't found one yet that supports it. It is a simple three-wire interface to most GPS's, TX/RX and Ground. They don't support (...) (26 years ago, 8-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: LCD Removal
 
All pcodes shipped with IC 3.1/3.2 are designed to work fine either with or without LCD. Prior to 3.1, you have to build a pcode specially to disable the LCD. -- Randy (...) (26 years ago, 8-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: any micromice out there?
 
Hi Brian, Several of my Penn State Abington freshman and sophomore engineering students constructed a working micromouse from LEGO and a HB. The approach was a vehicle that can only move in the north-south or east-west directions by alternately (...) (26 years ago, 8-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: serial communications
 
(...) I too have done this, with both a Garmin GPS-II+ and a Garmin GPS-35PC. I have posted segments of the code necessary to do this to the Handyboard list before, so if you look through the archives and grep for "WE7U", you should find them. If (...)

  Include directive, HexMon
 
Hello, I've been trying to compile .asm files using as11.exe. The files I received with my copy of IC contain the #include directive. Does anyone know of a copy of as11.exe that supports this? If I use as11_ic.bat, to build an *.icb file, the gcc (...) (26 years ago, 8-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: serial communications
 
Justin, Interfacing a GPS to the handyboard is straight forward. Most GPS receivers comply with the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) standards. They transmit their information in ASCII "sentences" which are framed by a $ at the (...) (26 years ago, 6-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
