  Re: Stepper Motor problems
 
I just got the stepper rountine working in my board this weekend. There were some problems initially. I had to replace the cycle_length with the actual number (4). There were also some errors with variable type conversions, for example FAST and SLOW (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Stepper Motor problems
 
Hi Again, I've been trying to get two stepper motors to work with my HB, with little success. Firstly the software by Peter Harrison does not seem to compile when I try to load it to the Board. The error is in line 29; " int (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Re: No heartbeat when switch on
 
did you try reloading the operating program, pcode_hb.s19? use hbdl on windows or 6811 downloader mcl on macintosh. this program (pcode_hb.s19) must be resident on the HB at all times. it sounds like for whatever reason it got corrupted. this isn't (...)

  No heartbeat when switch on
 
Hello I had used the HB for a few days already. Recently when I used the HB to drive 4 9V motors, the L293D chips got very hot. After that it LEDs start lighting up without the software turning on the motors. So I replace the L293D chips. Now when I (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) I have used this method, to great effect. It seemed upon first try that it was just too darn big to do any good, but if you're creative it's really pretty efficient. I *would* share my code, but it all burned up in a fire (he-he). Actually, I (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Problem with accessing analog and digital ports on HB with IC2.81
 
you have to use the HB libraries; you're probably using the 6.270 Board libraries. get the new libs from (URL) . run 'ic -config' to change the default library to lib_hb.lis. fred In your message you said: (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
