Did your team solder the proper capacitor into the sonar board in accordance with the instructions on the HB web site? I was just wondering, because others who forgot the capacitor have reported similar problems. Also, you may want to try tweaking (...) (25 years ago, 17-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)

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.
