 | | Electronic Compass?

Has anyone gotten a relatively cheap (<$100) electronic compass, like the KVH100, to i/f to the Handyboard? I believe it uses the SPI architecture which matches the Handyboard. * Michael L.

Hello there Handyboard users in the world, I read a lot about these IR sensors: Sharp GP1U52 or GP1U56Y. I would like to use some of these sensors in my own robot, that I build around a 8051 and a Forth interpreter. Now it has a few bumper switches (...)

Dirk, Without actually seeing your icb function, it would be hard to determine exactly what is going on. But here are some guesses: 1) When you are modifying control registers in MC, make sure that you use bit commands so that you don't set or erase (...)

HI Check for a short between pin 11 of the 'hc374 and +5V. Pin 11 is supposed to be connected to pin 9 of the 'hc138. It is the select line for the 8 flip-flops in the 374. If you have a logic probe, check either of these pins. They should be (...) (28 years ago, 15-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

8K might be all that IC allows for user global data. The memory map can be rearranged, but only at the compile-time of the IC application. Newton Labs should be able to give you a definitive answer about the memory organization of IC 3.1. -Fred In (...) (28 years ago, 12-Jul-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
