Sam & Victor, Thanks for the prompt replies. I was led astray by the fact that I got a graphic image when I first opened that file (lib_hb_exp.ic). Once I 'cancelled' the image, the needed file text was there. Once again, thanks to the group. John (...) (22 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi John. There's another file that does it... I think it's an .IC file, but not sure. Since I'm at work, I can't check (No IC), but I found it simply by opening up various .IC files in the Handyboard directory. Eventually I came across a file that (...)

Does anyone know if Rug warrior program in the book "Mobile Robots - Inspiration to implementation" can be run on a Handyboard? Has anyone run the Rug Warrior on Handyboard/Lego kit? Can the handyboard facilitate the same components? Thanks Liam (22 years ago, 10-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

i don't know this offhand. you'd have to assemble the pcode source and look and see where it ends up. it's a ring buffer tho' so it might be a little tricky. you'd be better off patching the lcd print interrupt routine (it unspools one char per ms (...)

this is non-trivial. The -loopback option isn't what you think it is; it's a flag telling the downloader that the low-level serial ckt has a hardware echo. it's relevant to an earlier 6811 design (the mini board), not the HB design. this would (...)
