I am interested in using the handyboard platform to do online robot
learning on a unix platform. I would like to have my learning program
(written in ansi C and compiled with gcc) running on a unix machine
sending motor commands and receiving sensor readings through the
serial line. I have looked at the serial code provided on the
handyboard web page: serialio.c, conio.c, and debug_serialio.c. These
seem to provide the backbone needed to do this, but do not include
mechanisms to command the motors or read the sensors.
Previously using the miniboard I was able to set up such an interface
by sending commands on the serial line that mimiced the monitor
program. Should I use the same technique for the handyboard? If so,
is there documentation available on the mon program? Specifically I
would need to know the addresses of the motors and sensors.
Thanks, Lisa

| Lisa you could also use the HEXMON40 program you might already be familiar with from the Mini Board. Basically all you have to do is change the motor out and vector location definitions. See the FAQ for the memory map of the Handy Board. (URL) your (...) (27 years ago, 30-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
