(...) One possibility: make sure you have loaded pcode_hb.s19 onto the board, and *not* pcoder22.s19. I've reloaded the correct version of the IC into the HB and it looks like it works fine. Thanks again Oriol ------- End of Forwarded Message (28 years ago, 16-Aug-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

One possibility: make sure you have loaded pcode_hb.s19 onto the board, and *not* pcoder22.s19. when you say "even if I don't move the HB at all after runing for a few seconds the HB usually crashes" do you mean, it crashes with the "-POWER GLITCH-" (...)
