To properly comunicate with any PC you need to convert your TTL TX and TTL RX signals coming from the Handy Board to RS232 voltage levels. The charging board contains this interface IC called the "MAX232" The power wire is required unless you are (...) (26 years ago, 8-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Yes. The subroutine acts just like any other function that you call. (...) Once you do a start_process, that subroutine will run indepently and concurrently with your main program. It does not "run out of time"... it will continue to run until (...) (26 years ago, 8-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
