Richard, Thanks for the help. I finally got the board to accept the pcode. I acquired a PS/2 mouse to free up my COM1 port. I used the HBDL.exe program that came with the board. After several unsuccessfully attempts to program the board, for some (...) (26 years ago, 15-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi people! I'd like to know two things: 1) Can I use the 68hc11a8 instead of the 68hc11a1 in the Handyboard, without recompiling Interactive C? 2) What's the minimum hardware to run Interactive C? I just want to blink a led to see if the hb is (...) (26 years ago, 15-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I built two more Handyboards and I've noticed something odd. When I download a program with a main() function, and reset the board, main() does not get executed. I thought it was supposed to. I'm using IC v3.1 (for the Mac) and Handyboard version (...) (26 years ago, 15-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Make sure that your com port 2 is actually wired to the motherboard I've heard a lot of stories with com ports not working because they forgot to connect the ribbon cable. Check that first. Try booting ito dos and use the DL.exe instead of the HBDL (...) (26 years ago, 15-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

In reference to your question about the motor with encoders. I know this isn't a software solution, but what if you used an external hardware (chip) counter that reset after 2^(number of bits) clicks. Then send resets as your steps to the (...)

(...) Watch the critical angle for the sonar too. If the sonar doesn't hit almost straight on, some of the energy will be reflected off at an angle, and may provide false longer distances. Smooth surfaces will have a lower critical angle then coarse (...) (26 years ago, 15-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I've just started experimenting with mapping and these are my thoughts on it. Drop the robot anywhere in its environment. The robot has a sonar hooked to a servo so the sensor can be scanned horizontally. As the sensor sweeps from left to right, (...) (26 years ago, 15-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

eric, i don't have a definitive answer, but here are two things: 1. You *NEED* the reset chip, whether it's a DS1233 or the MC34064HC, I don't care, but you must have a device that asserts reset (pulls the line low) when the system voltage falls (...)

Has anyone had this problem: I am running win 98 on P200 MMX, and com1 is used by a serial mouse. I just bought the board, serial expansion board, and cables from Gleason Research. Comm2 is usually used by my internal modem, but I removed it and (...) (26 years ago, 15-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
