(...) I didn't think printf() was even available on the shareware (old) version of icc? (24 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Linux and handyboard help!
 
Do an ic -config and check to see what library it downloads, make sure its the handyboard library and the 6.270 board library. --Chuck (...) (24 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: More on Miniboard woes and woohoos.
 
If you upgrade to the commercial version of icc11 not only do you get a downloader that works under windows 9x but also very nice library interface. (disclaimer: I wrote the library :-) In general on embedded systems you _don't_ want to use printf, (...) (24 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Linux and handyboard help!
 
Hi all, HELP! I seem to be having some strange behavior using IC under linux. For some unexplainable reason, when using IC under linux to load a file onto the handyboard, the board's digital inputs don't respond. I can take the same board and the (...)

  More on Miniboard woes and woohoos.
 
Hi again, Thanks to those who sent suggestions. Running in DOS mode, not W95 dlm does work just fine. Ick. Oh well. Anyway, I thought that 2K of EEPROM would be enough to do something with, and it may be, but probably not in ICC - The printf.c (...) (24 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Are you running DLM from a dos window in Win9x? I've had this problem but it usually stops when I run it in DOS. Just a thought. -Jim Munro <jimmn@xnet.com> (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Freeware ICC11 and bad iasm11.exe?
 
Me again, I just got the ICC11 freeware from the Miniboard site and installed it, moving the crt.s over as it says to do in the docs, etc. I tried to compile the test compile of icc11 dhry.c printf.c and got a LOT of "phasing" errors, whatever that (...)

  Miniboard download random failures
 
Hello, I just finished building a Miniboard using the HC811E2 processor. After swapping the Rx and Tx lines on my serial cable the download and reset switch do as the manual says. However, when I use dlm to download a program the bootstrap section (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  serial communication
 
Hi.. I am also facing problem in serial communications. My problem is that I am trying to use the handyboard to drive a modem. I have used a cross-serial cable to connect my handyboard's external serial board to a modem. But whenever I run my app, (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Linux and v1.21 handyboard (fwd)
 
Hi, I've successfully located and compiled the IC files for the Handy Board. I can load and run programs on the board, BUT the digital input(s) are not being "seen". E.g. a simple program like: void test3(){ while (1){ if (digital(10)) printf("10 is (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  communication via serial port
 
Hi, This isn't an off topic question... Has anyone tried programming the serial port (on Linux) to communicate with the Handyboard? I am working on an RF link between the Handyboard and a PC via serial communication, but I don't know much about (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: external power
 
I am by no means an expert on the subject but this is how I did it. First I cut the heavy motor power trace as shown in the FAQ. Next I soldered a four pin female header on top of the expansion board where the expansion board picks up power for the (...) (24 years ago, 4-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Multiple GP2D02 range sensors
 
Greetings, (...) From what I could understand from the documentation ((URL) you could use one timing signal for all of them, as long as each sensor is connected to its own output line (to which the sensor would serially output its 8 bit value).

i was wondering if i can modify the handyboard to accept a secondary power supply for the motors and still use the expansion board at the same time. if there is anything else i need to know or do, i would greatly appreciate hearing about it. thank (...)

  Re: Trouble with handyboards
 
It is common when polarized caps are put in backwards! Some of those little beggars are hard to see, and easy to get backwards. Other things, such as solder bridges or bad solder joints, can be a problem. Some have even reported finding debris under (...) (24 years ago, 4-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Trouble with handyboards
 
I am having students in one of my classes build handyboards, and most are working fine, but some are failing. They all passed intermediate tests, but failed when fully assembled. The most common failure mode that I am seeing results in the (...) (24 years ago, 4-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Multiple GP2D02 range sensors
 
I would like to connect multiple (two to four) GP2D02 range sensors to my handyboard. Will each need to have is own timing signal or can they share somehow. If each does need a signal, how many can I connect? Should I get an Expansion Board? any (...) (24 years ago, 4-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
