Dear Sam, It is so strange as you already replace all the chips. The "testanalogs()" is used to test A/D feature and analog port of MC68HC11. It will prompt you "Press START to test knob..." You then press START button and the reading of A/D port (...) (26 years ago, 12-Sep-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I am building my handyboard and have been unable to succesfully execute testanalogs(). testmotors(); and testdigitals(); work but when i testanalogs(); either the board displays the current position of the knob (1-256) and freezes, displays the (...)

(...) Not quite, but I made good use of the PWM to provide automatic, feedback-adjusted motor control for straight-line tracking. It might give you some ideas.

Does anyone have any code using the new smooth PWM motor routines to ramp up and ramp down the speed. I have tried a few things with out much successs. Thanks Bill James | work: 972.480.2306 Product Test Specialist | Pager: 972.598.6201 (...) (26 years ago, 10-Sep-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi, What's the difference between the Designer and OEM polaroid kits. Which one do I need to hook up the polaroid sensors to the HB? Thanks (26 years ago, 10-Sep-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I guess I should have learned by now, to investigate more before jumping out and asking. I examined the two versions of the lib_hb.c the difference in the analog is the absence of the following code in the smooth pwm code: int _raw_analog(int port) (...)

Fred, or who every can answer this. I have implemented the smooth PWM routines and are very happy with them. I notice now that there is a fix for the analog sensor reading bug. One file that is replaced is the lib_hb.c file, which was also the file (...) (26 years ago, 10-Sep-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

yes, RP4 is four isolated resistors, and this being part of the serial line circuit, definitely explains your problem if you are using the common-terminal style. you can just install four 1K resistors if you don't have the correct r-pack handy. fred (...)

hi At present I am up to section 4.4, "serial line and stop switch". I have installed all the components as per the section but when testing by applying power and holding down the stop switch, the HB will not go into bootstrap mode. I have not (...)
