Dan,
Thanks for hanging tough on this problem.....I'm feeling really inadequate
on this one.
I downloaded your revision of my program and it did not help. Of course, if
I do type " main() " on the PC, it does give your "Press Start....." message
and waits for me to press START. After pressing START, the HB beeps and
starts running "my" program.
Yes, I'm downloading the Pcode version 3.1. However, per your earlier
suggestion, I downloaded the "PWM Pcode" to my HB and then downloaded my "
main() " file......no joy!.... same problem.
I will download the 'free' IC version and try everything from a DOS prompt,
although that'll have to wait until tomorrow.
Incidentally, I just reattached the battery pack after resoldering every
connection on the HB.....no change.
Well, I've got 103 fewer Toshiba 68HC11's than you, but I'm glad to hear
that you don't think that the Toshiba is the problem -- or maybe I wish it
were that.
Please feel free to post any/all of this discussion on the other
board....I'll take any help I can get. You can probably tell that I'm
really frustrated with this problem. I'm ready to get on with my robot
project, but I have to get past this problem first......arrrrgh. If I
can't get this squared away, I'm going to have a very expensive paperweight.
Regards,
John

| John, I added a little sub routine to your program, see if you can use it this way. Probably not, but hey it's worth a try.
