Are there any HB users in the Long Beach, CA area? I'm interested in getting a group together to build and run small robots in a maze to develop navigation and AI code in IC. We'd meet once a month on whichever saturday doesn't interfere with RSSC (...) (25 years ago, 16-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Ah! I see the problem. If you really wanted to do it, I'm sure you could scan through the Mac software to find where the baud rate was set, and then change a few bytes. It might take some time to find it though. You could also ask Newton Labs (...) (25 years ago, 16-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Ah, I tried this, but it breaks the pcode serial connection. IC on the Mac side seems to demand a 9600-baud connection and can't compensate for different rates. I suppose I should move to a different C compiler, but I'd lose the interactivity (...) (25 years ago, 16-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) I figured it out either from the Handyboard web pages at MIT or from the big pink book (Motorola HC11 Book). I have had my Handyboard receiving from a GPS and tranmitting to a TNC at 4800 baud. Initially did it with IC, but am now using GCC (...) (25 years ago, 16-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Does anyone know how to reduce the baud rate used by IC? (I'm running Mac version 3.1.) I'd like to replace the serial cable with an RF link, but keep the interactivity of IC. Incidentally, I've found that the Parallax RF stamps work quite well on (...) (25 years ago, 16-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi everyone! The RF tx/rx units shown on the page were from Ming Microsystems. They were rated for 1200 baud, but I've been able to transmit/receive slower using the Parallax Inc. RF boards, which were rated for 300 baud. For slower serial (...) (25 years ago, 16-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Is it possible to slow down the speed of the serial interface on the Handyboard? I have just gotten hold of a couple of RF transmit/receive pairs, but they are only able to go up to about 1200 baud or so. I don't intend using IC over the link, just (...)

you're not going to be able to generate accurate bit times using Interactive C -- it'd have to be an assembly language driver. use the 9600 baud output driver located at (URL) your message you said: (...) (25 years ago, 16-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

hi i want to send a byte as a series of bit to a transamitter module i am using. the FAQ says i can use the digital 9, or SPI port or TOC3. i can output to these ports. the first problem is getting the delay times between bits. if i use the msleep() (...)
