Thanks Fred and you too Ranjit,
I have just now got my board to accept the expansion board files.
I reloaded the expansion board zip files,installed in ic but still would
not load.
It did not give a error message for the expsens.c file but did for the
lib_hb.c file. There were <little squares> throughout the code outside the
comment lines starting with line 2.  I deleted all squares but then it gave
a error message for line 251--the last line.
I cut lines 248 thru 251, the last function, and the code loaded so I
pasted the lines back in and it seems to work now even with lines back
in???
I have deleted the squares before but never any thing else.

Anyhow, I want to thank you verry, verry much and also Ranjt because I have
been working on this problem for weeks.
I have checked one servo port and three of the analog ports I was so
excited about getting it to work haven't even checked out the rest of the
board .
looks like the worm turned!
Thanks
Terry Gathright

  Re: Expansion Board Files
 
I had similar problems with lib_hb.c. Downloaded it tonight (1800 local time in California, 1 Feb 99). After removing all the "little squares" there were still about 8 or 10 errors. At each error I deleted all white space in the error's location, (...) (28 years ago, 2-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
