Hi folks,

We have been looking for a way to echo the printf()s on LCD to the IC
terminal on host computer (using 2.86 - freeware). IC has a -loopback
option, but apparently that only works for HB rev 1.5 and earlier. Is
there a way to do this with the new rev 2.21 HB? From what we
understand, the HB error messages are echoed back to the terminal, so
we're thinking that there must be a way.

If this involves a code change in IC, we are also ready to tackle that.
Any help/hack/suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks and have a great day!
-Levent

this is from george musser. enjoy. - fred My advanced library of routines ((URL) includes a kludgy way to echo printf() to the IC command line. Look at the function iprintf() in the file advlib_utility.c. The routine sets up a character pointer to (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
