  Re: Cannot Find pcoder22.s19
 
(...) I think everybody had that problem at first, because the default setup for IC tries to use that file. The pcoder22.s19 is not supposed to be used for the HandyBoard (I think it's for the MIT robotics course). Your HB needs the pcode_hb.s19 (...)

  Communicating with board
 
Hello, I am getting a message when I try to connect with the board that says "Cannot find \ic\libs\lib_hb.lis" I loaded a program onto the handyboard from my computer at home- everything looked good. When I brought it in, I tried to connect here and (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Cannot Find pcoder22.s19
 
Hi Folks, I just purchased a Handy Board and am trying to get started with it.

  servo timing
 
Hi all, I have an interesting problem with the servo routines. I am using them to control a speed control. From the IC command line, I am able to control the ESC (and hence the motor) perfectly. From a simple test program, I can also do this. But (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  RE: Startup
 
Ronald, (...) I think the serial board is working fine. I tried the loopback test as mentioned in the (URL) everything seems ok. My concern is that since the green and Red LEds on the HB don't seem to come one (EVER blink or otherwise) I am (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Startup
 
(...) What version of IC are you using? I had all kinds of serial port troubles with the freeware version running on fast (Pentium and up) machines. The commercial version runs well on fast machines under Win95, has a slick interface and is cheap. (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Startup
 
Hi all, Reading from the tons of the listings, I see that many of you are veterans in the HB. I recently bought a preassembled HB. I havn't soldered the battery case to the board, however, I have bought a 12V 500mA external adapter. I thought I (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: LM35 Temp Sensor TRICK FOR USE
 
Anybody catch the segment last night on the robotic wheelchair. I think it was on Dateline.

  Re: Robotic Wheelchair
 
I did see that! Very impressive, as long as you don't run into an object below the CG while up on two wheels :-). They have probably thought of that already. This is the kind of good work that people in robotics can do. There are other "robots" in (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Fernando: This is not too much information to go by, but here are some thoughts. 1. If you use MS Windows 95/98/NT hbdl is your best bet as a downloader, since dl or dlm hang up under these OS's, even in a MSDOS terminal window. dl and dlm work (...)
