I was wondering if there's a freeware version of IC for windows 95.  If
so, how can I get it?  Also, do I need any registration number?  Please
respond asap.  I'm anxious to program my HB.

Thanks,

   This is difficult to explain but easy to build, so hang with me while
I try and explain.  I've made a Orcad schematic of this circuit for
those who are interested.

   Using a dual timer(556), you use one timer(1) to clock a Quad D
Flop(75175),and simultaneously trigger the second timer(2). The second
timer(2) sends a very short pulse to a FET switch. The FET switch is
connected to 4 IR-LED's through (4) 10ohm (hi wattage) resistors.

   The IR-LED's get a short 2+ amp spike, this gives you a good range
and because the detectors are only read when the IR-LEDs are fired,
there is very little problem with ambient light and noise.

   The idea is to read all 4 detectors while simultaneously sending a
short hi current spike to your IR-LED's. The status of each detector is
captured by the D-Flop and held so it can be read by the Handyboard. To
get another reading clear the D-Flop and trigger timer(1)

Well, thats my 2cents worth.....

(...) the freeware version of IC runs fine under W95 as a DOS app. Get it from the Handy Board Software Resources page: (URL) (27 years ago, 25-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
