Hi, It's been a long long time since I've posted here. I've recently dusted off the robot and am re-doing the drive system to use Kam Leang's bipolar motor...
I have posted an Interactive C implementation of events for the Handy Board here: http://roboticdreams.wordpress.com/. The code enables an event-based...
I tried downloading the latest version of Interactive C 8.0.2 but when it is done compiling the Handyboard lcd says the firmware is IC 4.2. What happened to...
There are different version numbers for the desktop software and the firmware that runs on the board. The firmware hasn't changed through the latest batch of...
Just thought I'd add some info. If anyone is still using IC 3.2, the old Newton Labs one, it doesn't seem to work on Vista 64. Not sure of earlier versions. ...
I have a new Handy Board and I am attempting to read an analog input for the first time. I have a trivial infinite loop that reads an analog port value and...
Yes, the default software libraries assume an Expansion Board, and reserve those two pins for it. One simple workaround is to use analog(16) to get analog(0),...
As I have understood I have to cut the motor power trace and then plug the new power source into the motor power header. But what happens to the Expansion...

Jennifer, you can’t use a parallel adapter. You have to get a USB-serial cable, which provides a COM port. You then use a serial DB25-DB9 adapter to connect...
I went to botball.org and downloaded the Interactive C 8.0.2 program to write and test my programs for school. We are required to use "reset_system_time()" in...

Hello Ericson, I haven't seen any direct code for the Handyboard for I2C but there may be a couple options. One site that has some information and chips to...
Hi Ericson, I have attached some I2C code I wrote many years ago for the Handyboard in IC. It makes use of an added output port but that can be modified within...
