 | | IC problems, part III!
|
|
Alright, one more fun fact - the old shareware version of IC works fine, running under the Win 95 MS-DOS prompt. I think that eliminates any possibility of a hardware problem, meaning it's IC 3.1 at fault! Hbdl works fine as well, under Win 95. (...) (28 years ago, 18-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Also, IC ctually _works_ if I'm downloading something with my internal modem. This is probably slowing down the transfers IC is making enough for them to work. Once the download stops, however, IC quits working again. Truly strange. (28 years ago, 18-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | IC download errors
|
|
Today, IC 3.1 has decided it no longer wants to communicate with my handy board. It detects the board, I select the Handy Board .icd file, and then it tries to download the default files to the board. However, it errors out on each retry, and gets (...)

| | IC for Win 95
|
|
Has anyone heard of a release date for a new version of IC for Win 95? The bugs in the present beta are getting... irritating. Maybe I should write a $100 check to Newton Labs and see what happens, eh? :-) (28 years ago, 17-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | encoders w/sonar?
|
|
After I slap a Polaroid sonar module onto my robot, I'd like to add some shaft encoders. However, it appears that the shaft encoder routines and the sonar routines both use some of the same ports on the digital headers. Is it possible to use other (...)

| | Re: voltage regulator current rating
|
|
(...) Is there any current going directly into GND from the LM2931Z-5.0? If so, would this cause any "extra" heat other than from the current the HB draws? -Eric (28 years ago, 16-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | SPI Bus problem solved!!!!!!
|
|
Hi-dee ho, I'm happy to report that I've successfully gotten a Handyboard to communicate to a Miniboard via the Synchronous Serial bus (SPI). The secret was (as I alluded to in my last post on the subject) setting the DDRD (Data direction for port (...) (28 years ago, 16-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Available J sockets on Hboard?
|
|
Are there any unused sockets on the Handyboard? For example, the bottom 2 sockets in J6 look to be unused, and I could use a couple of sockets to bring out some signals. Now that the thing is assembled, it's difficult to follow traces on the top (...) (28 years ago, 15-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Yes. The interface will draw power from the HB's battery. Don't leave the HB plugged into the interface w/o the adapter for extended periods, because the interface will drain the HB's battery even if the HB is switched off. -Fred (28 years ago, 15-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
