  Interactive C-OS8 Downloading Problems
 
I have nearly teared my hair out trying to get my HB to to DL on a my OS8 6500 Mac. I though there might be someting wrong with the HB and replaced 5 chips. Today I took my HB over to a friends house who has a Performa 475 and hand had no problems. (...) (26 years ago, 24-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Wirz LMD18200
 
I'm not familiar with the Wirz board, however the board I built used the regular "motor output" of the handyboard with no modification required. The trick was to use an opto-isolator to "recover" the forward and backward logic states. That was done (...) (26 years ago, 24-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: batteries port
 
(...) That sounds like too much voltage for the HB. I think I remember reading that the HB runs on up to 12 V max. Check the Handy Board Technical Reference. There are much better ways to run motors that require higher voltages. Try using a separate (...) (26 years ago, 24-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: Stack Overflow
 
IC is implemented using lex and yacc (tools originally on unix systems for building parsers and compilers, which generate C code that be compiled into apps on many platforms). as someone pointed out, if yacc barfs, it's because you've got an (...)

(...) code: please send it to me privately and I'll see what I can do. PS: What kind of hardware/software platform are you on? "Yacc" is typically a Unix program that I thought had nothing to do with IC. (And yes, the real Unix "yacc" can stack (...) (26 years ago, 24-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Memory Map with Expansion board
 
Hi Folks, I was just reading the FAQ and encountered the part about the memory map. Does anyone know how the expansion board maps as it is not included in the memory map in the FAQ? Thanks, Chris Prosser (26 years ago, 23-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Stack Overflow
 
Hi there, In my humble opinion, I suspect that the problem is with Interactive C.. Try a newer or older version. What version are you using, by the way ? To quote Levine et al, "lex & yacc", 2nd Ed, O'Rielly & Assoc page 259: "yacc stack overflow (...) (26 years ago, 23-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  batteries port
 
dear readers, i am current using power supply of around 15 to 20 volts to supply to my HB. i remove the 9.6 batteries supply cause it does not have the strength to drive my 30 v dc motor. will it affect the board? jass (26 years ago, 23-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi everyone: I'm trying to download a rather large chunk of code to the HandyBoard, and I'm having a problem when I exceed a certain number of instructions in a procedure I'm running.

  Re: Ultrasonic sensor
 
(...) Firstly, it looks like the sensor board can be powered from the HB using the motor power header (J13). This is good, because the two should share a common ground. Based on the schematic and the web page description, it looks like this type of (...) (26 years ago, 23-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  CONTINUOUS BEEPING
 
Dear Fred Martin/friends, We have put a total of 6 chips on the handy board-the 6811 ,two chips placed side by side to the left of the 6811, the fat chip on the upper side of the 6811, two ICs(chips) one on each side of the fat chip.(component side) (...)

I tried to use the special RC motor drivers for RC race cars with good luck, they simply connect to a servo output of the handy board and they work great and you can get them in a thousand different configurations like fwd/rev and brakes.

  Re: Toy motors
 
I was reading the FAQ (again), and unless I overlooked something, it seems that even with the H-bridge or piggybacking solutions, I would not be able to drive a high-end R/C car engine (20+ amps)... So here are my questions: 1 - Could I lower the (...) (26 years ago, 22-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I would suspect that the system locks up without the LCD. There is a PCODE out there for use without the LCD panel, and I believe that it is at the handyboard web site. K.L. McKinnon (...) (26 years ago, 22-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
