Hi.

I had to remove the CTRL-M's from the file.  After I did that it loaded
into IC no problem.  So the MS-DOS v3.1 beta 4 of IC doesn't handle them.

But I came across another problem.  For the C wrapper code for the
servo_a5 routines I just modified servo.c to reflect the routine and
variable name changes.  Servo_a5_pulse gets initalized properly to 2560,
but I can't get the servo_on() (calls servo_a5_init(1)) to run properly. ~
I get the following message:
Downloading 6 bytes (addresses C200-C205): 6 loaded
Board not responding to 114 (r) command
Synchronizing with board
Board sync error: looking for prompt, got 12
Synchronizing with board
returned <void>
After this I can't control the servo, it just doesn't respond.  None of my
supervisors can't really decipher the above message, so could you please
give some insight?

Maria

(...) OK. Thanks for letting us know. I have updated the FAQ to reflect your observation. (...) Can you try -not- loading your modified servo.c and see if you can get the A5 servo to work? Make sure neither servo.c nor servo.icb is loaded, and then (...) (30 years ago, 13-Nov-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
