Hi Im currently using IC 2.8 and was wondering what its minimum system requirements are?(ram, speed,processor,system etc.) By the way Im a mac user so Is there acopy out there for a 68k mac? Thanx in advance and for quick responses? -Alex Ps- (...) (24 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Using IC2/3 inputs w/interrupts in ASM?
|
|
One of my students wants to use the IC2/3 lines for a function on his LEGO robot. He needs to write an ISR for this particular line. I've done this many times with the 6811 under the BUFFALO monitor, but I don't know the "side effects" likely if we (...) (24 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi, has anybody ever manage to rebuild a pcoder, using Kent Farnsworth's routines? I just tried, but I am usure about the compiler switches. Next to the startbutton I found the remark "rev. 1.2A", Kent just mentioned REV2 or REV 2.1 board. (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

You can always bridge the motor outputs together for higher current. The motor chip has the built in diode, so you (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Can the motor outputs be used to close a relay instead of running a motor? As an example to control a motor that needs 120v AC? As far as the inputs go, are the digital inputs for switch type sensors (high or low value only), and the analog inputs (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

The hardware is limited to 31.5' (~ 10 meters). The limitation is on the design of the receive amplifier's gain module (and noise floor). Generally scaling this to an integer of 32767 results in a precision of just over 1 tenth of an inch (or 1/3 (...) (24 years ago, 26-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Maybe someone else can say for sure, but I seem to remember that there may be a way to slow down your interrupt counter, so that it won't overflow (a timer setup register).
