I've got a poloroid sonar question. I got a hold of a Poloroid OneStep Sonar camera at the second hand store, but it does not seem to match any of the pinouts I've seen on the Web... This board has 16pins, I believe this board is manufactured by TI. (...) (26 years ago, 16-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Thanks for the tip on reflection error. I'll have to build in a function to weight the position accordingly. I'm trying to stay away from occupency grids and use the native vectors to conserve memory while maintaining accuracy. I may have to resort (...)

(...) I've never hot HBDL to work, and I've tried it on a 386 (laptop), 486 and Pentium. Don't know why: just won't work under win3.11 win95 or win98.

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'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.

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 (...)
