 | | Broken Charger/Interface board--last chapter
|
|
Well, it looks like reparing this charger/interface board is beyond me. I have now replaced all the capacitors, both 'lytic and not, and the MAX 232. I'have even been able to get an original Max232CPE. But the board doesn't work still. I get a (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi everyone, The KISS Institute for Practical Robotics (KIPR), a non-profit educational organization, has been sponsoring continuing work on free versions of Interactive C. In the last week, Randy Sargent has announced Interactive C Version 4, which (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

|
|
Greetings, From the specs ((URL) the unit you have (LVS) supports a RS232C level connection. Since the HandyBoard uses TTL level signals, you would need an RS232C to TTL interface. This interface would be similar to the one used on the serial (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Be sure you get the proper Max232 chip. I bought another, because I was having serial port problems, and thought it might be the Max232 chip... But the new one I bought wasnt *quite* right. What happened was in IC I could download pcode if I tried (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi all, just in case anyone feels like helping, I thought I'd post an update on the current (and very sick) state of the charger/interface board I accidently turbocharged by plugging the 120V adapter into a 240V outlet. As stated in a previous (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I am working on a robotic blimp project. I've acquired the Garmin GPS25-LVS receiver and I want to use it with the HandyBoard to control the blimp. Does anybody have a schematic that would show how to connect this GPS system to the HandyBoard, and (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

|

Thanks to all who offered help. But I'm afraid I may need some more... In response to some questions: Yes the pop came from the board, not the wall-mounted adapter, and yes, I do have a voltmeter. But it hadn't occurred to me to check the testing (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: Compiling .icb files /Farnsworth files
|

I thought originally you were interested in building .icb files, not rebuilding the pcode file. If you want to rebuild the pcode, you need the HB distribution of the pcode, which is at (URL) . There's also a makefile that has the flags for building (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Fred, I've enclosed the section of the README that applies to my question: To build pcode for other robot boards, follow the instructions below. Copy the 'build_rw.bat' file to another, and replace the GCC command -D variables to the following for (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
