 |  | Hello, 
 (newbie warning - I've read the FAQ and manuals, but I may still be
 missing something very trivial. Still, thanks for making it so far!)
 
 I just bought a handyboard from Gleason Research (with the expansion
 board) and started going through the hb and ic instructions. I'm running
 ic2.81 on a SGI O2 running IRIX 6.5.
 
 I've succesfully downloaded pcode_hb.s19 (if memory serves correctly)
 and when running IC, simple stuff works OK; I can use beeper_on and
 beeper_off withouth any problem, printf and a couple of other ones.
 
 On the other hand, I have tried connecting the switches that I received
 with the HB and if I test them with a multi-meter they work fine. But I
 get no reading on calls like analog(16), or any other ports for that
 matter. Also left_button() and right_button() always return the same
 thing.
 
 It looks like i've configured ic to look in the right place for the
 libraries. I've also moved and reconfigured everything to /usr/local/
 directories as in the manual.
 
 Somehow, though, I must still be missing something. In the
 examples/instructions, it looks like there should be such functions as
 start_button() and stop_button() but those do not appear when I invoke
 the 'list functions' command under IC.
 
 My apologies if it's something trivial.
 
 Thanks!
 
 - martin
