Hi John, I am interested in your handyboard ! I'm curious, when you say your board only has one motor chip is that something you added on or does that mean it only has one of the four outputs for DC motors, that usually comes with the board. Or does (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Battery Level Indicator
 
(...) When I first got my HC11EVB I ran 12V straight into the E port (one of the pins), and was sure I ruined the chip. I called the tech support person at motorola, and he said 12V on a A/D port should be no problem. Sure enough it all still (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Battery Level Indicator
 
1. yes, you probably killed your analog 5. the analog inputs are very sensitive to over voltage. if your ran more than +5v directly into the input, you probably killed it. next time you're playing with funky voltages, put a 5K resistor in series (...)

  Strange problem in IC V3.2 beta 1 (Handy Board 1.2)
 
Hello, What is wrong here? Just type: IC> 100L/67L Illegal type given to /: <long> / <long> Why am I not allowed to divide two long numbers ? Rien (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  A fast light sensor?
 
Ummm, Hi all I'm looking for a circuit that will interface a photo transistor or a photo diode to a digital input. I tried a photocell in an analog port but it's too slow, I want to use a *visible* light pulse as an accurate trigger: ie. input (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Battery Level Indicator
 
I have been playing around with trying to make a battery indicator on my Handy Board. I did find the below diagram from a earlier posting in March of 98.

  Sharp GP2D05
 
I would like to use the Sharp GP2D05 infrared detection module with HandyBoard. Any hints/suggestions/clues will be highly appreciated. I'm from the PIC generation and am a newbie to the HB and the 68HC11 Thanks in advance, Ranjit (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  IC
 
Dear Mr Fred Martin/friends, Thank you for giving the site of the new library files.We started IC properly today.It gave NO 'synchronizing with board' errors. We input 1 + 2; and it gave the proper result.However when 123 * 2; was entered at the C> (...) (26 years ago, 19-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  dig and analog address
 
could someone please tell me the address of digital ports 2,6,7 and all the analog ports? For some reason or another I'm having software troubles and I'm having to map these myself.... Thanks for the help, Owen (26 years ago, 19-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  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)
 
  IC PROBLEM
 
Dear Mr Fred Martin/Friends, I had written to the handy board mailing list about a rover that we are making at VESIT-Bombay-India.We were encountering some problems in starting IC,it was saying 'Synchronizing with board' and hanging.

  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 (...)
