| | Java on Handy Board?
|
|
Handy-folk, I recently discovered that there is an experimental version of Java for the 68HC11 microcontroller. Cool! It has been in field testing since June, and looks promising. The developers tell me that a beta version should be released in a (...) (26 years ago, 19-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: IC
|
|
i am unable to reproduce the problem. perhaps comms between IC and your board are still unreliable. try writing a program that repeatedly prints to the LCD screen the result of 123 * 2. my guess is that it will work perfectly. also, make sure you (...)

| | Re: digital and analog port on HD

I remember the Basic Stamp "POT" command which is used to read the position of a pot using a digital port. The Basic Stamps are made from PIC microcontrollers and the digital ports are bidirectional. That is they may be used as digital inputs or (...) (26 years ago, 19-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: digital and analog port on HD

(...) Just thought I would add that it *is* possible (if a bit slow) to read an analog signal w/ a digital port by timing the decay of the signal thru a RC circuit...not a particularly precise method, either. < Watching for the Fedex guy bringing my (...)

| | Re: digital and analog port on HD
|
|
(...) A digital port can't have the capability of an analog port, since it has only one bit of information with which to work. (A 256-value analog port has eight bits.) You could perhaps hook an analog sensor up to a digital port using some sort of (...) (26 years ago, 18-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

yes, you are having lib conflicts. you should get the latest at (URL) latest has _raw_analog in the .icb file and NOT in the lib_hb.c file. re: synchronizing probs, try running IC in a full screen DOS window, or boot your computer in DOS mode. the (...)

Hi Jeremy, Question: Do you use 30V for your Motor ? (external) IF NO: I´m testing several Motors from copier-machines (12V-24V) with my HB. Some motors didn´t work properly with PWM. For example Motor 24V I´m using ist with for 12V Motor (0,100) (...) (26 years ago, 18-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Dear Mr Fred Martin/friends, The handy board assembly manual speaks of a custom testing software needed to test memory. I want it urgently to test memory ICs used on the handy board to find whether they is working properly. If you know where it can (...) (26 years ago, 18-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: Readings
|

yes, memory wires should be oscillating, back and forth betw 0 and 5 volts. this is not floating; floating implies not connected. re: your other DL probs, usually, it is a bad connection on the PCB. try continuity checks on the memory subsystem.

Fred- You left it unclear in an explanation to another letter. You were answering the fellow from India as to what readings one should see when useing a logic probe on the memory chip.
