(Summary - LCD not reading D0 value) Well the parts finally arrived in the mail for me to start working on my HB. I have been assembling it step by step to ensure that debugging would be as simple as possible. I am at the stage where I hook up the (...) (29 years ago, 22-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Dear Mr. Gleason, I gave up to download pcode from my PC (Dell Dimension XPS133c), and I tried to connect the board to Macinctosh (LC475). Then, I could download pcode and the board run well. As Fred's suggestion, the problem was not your board but (...) (29 years ago, 21-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | DL problems
|
|
Hi everyone, I've noticed problems with both DL and DLM in certain situations too. At first I used to think that I made a mistake in configuration or ruined a controller somehow. Over time, however, I realized that these programs were finicky about (...) (29 years ago, 21-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | DLM and windows (95)
|
|
I would suggest that fred is pretty much right on the mark with his suggestions of windows being the problem with DLM. I have noticed that: After using a full sized dos session and turning off emulating screen calls I get fewer errors, unless, 1) I (...) (29 years ago, 21-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | DLM for the modern age
|
|
Hi all, Given Kazuyoshi and other's problems with DLM, if there are any Windows programmers out there who would want to take a stab at a Windows or W'95 implemention, it would be a Good Thing. I'm afraid I'm not qualified to take this on myself. The (...) (29 years ago, 21-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Dear Mr. Inouye, I am disappointed to hear that your out-of-the-box experience with the Handy Board was not a perfect one. Your board passed all tests, and I believe that Fred's suggestions will solve the dlm difficulty. Please let me know if they (...) (29 years ago, 21-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

dlm is apparently having trouble. you've got the right COM port because it's able to get through the first phase of the download (the dots and dashes bootstrap). someone else had problems using dlm on a pentium. it's an aging dos program and i (...)

Dear Master of HB, I bought a handy board made by Gleason Research (complete set), and connect RS232C cable to my PC. After I put the board into download mode, I put the command "a:> dlm pcode_hb." However, I found the following message on the (...) (29 years ago, 21-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: Sony IR Transmission Routine
|
|
a wireless serial link requires surgery to IC. the HB side woudn't be bad. on the ic side you'd have to plug into the board comms routines (probably most are stashed away in a single library) and substitute your own code that deal with transmission (...)

| | Sony IR Transmission Routine
|
|
OK, so now we can send and recieve sony IR transmissions. This is so totally cool I just can't believe it. But you know what would make it at least 10E23 times better? If I could re-direct IC so as to not use the serial port, but to use the IR port (...) (29 years ago, 20-Feb-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
