Hi, I'm assembling a handyboard and am at the stage where the digital inputs are tested using the testdigitals() function of hbtest.c. The test partially works, and I get the beeps after pressing the start and stop buttons, but when I jumper the (...) (25 years ago, 28-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: Analog I/O as Digital I/O
|
|
Also, the "digital(int p)" extends to the analog ports too. When used with a port that is analog in hardware, it just uses 127 as a threshold value to return 1 or 0 (note below 127 returns true). See page 22 in the HB manual. However, with this (...) (25 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: Analog I/O as Digital I/O

(...) Since the analog inputs read voltage levels, you should be able to just plug in any switch or 5-0volt input directly. To read the values, use the analog command, and in theory you should only get two possible values, 255 for +5volts, and 0 for (...) (25 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Can the analog input lines be used as a digital input lines (if there is no requirement of analog input)? Because, these lines are connected to the port E of 68hc11, then what are modifications required in the code? Asim Kar. City University of Hong (...)

I had the same problem. When I run as11-ic on my MAC, I have no problem. When I do it on an IBM clone, I cannot load it into the Handy Board. I fixed it by hand-editing out the comment line (its in human language) in the generated .s19 file and it (...) (25 years ago, 24-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

You could also look up parts similar to the 4N33 to see if you could use something like that in a design. Not (...) (25 years ago, 23-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
