Hi Everyone there! I am relatively new to the HandyBoard ( and for that matter, the robot scene in general ) I would like to know if anyone out there can advise me on whether it might be possible to connect a wireless modem to a HandyBoard? I was (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi I've tried to use the overflow flag to measure distances greater than 2.7m with the polaroid sonar. I've added the following line to the sonar_init(): bit_clear(0x1024,0x80); /* clear TOI, no Timer Overflow Interrupt */ I think the overflow flag (...)

Synonym: reflected or mirrored code). Its very simple for two bits: 00 (...) (24 years ago, 22-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
