Hello,	
	I've been having some problems using my HandyBoard to talk directly to my
PC via the serial interface.  I disable Interactive C and then Poke() and
Peek() as has been described on this list.  I  send short character strings
from my PC to the HandyBoard under Windows 95.  If I send strings longer
than 2 characters, it seems that some of the characters get lost. This
behavior seems to be affected by repositioning or slightly modifying the
code, suggesting perhaps a timing issue.
 
Why might this be?  Is there any way to check for an error situation?

Thanks for any help,
		Aaron

Get a copy of icc11 v5.0 or later (from www.imagecraft.com) and use the
handyboard library from their site.

Hello,
	I have a handy board with poloroid transducers and I am trying use the
results of my distance measurments in a C++ program on the computer.  I
have found programs on the handyboard web page that should alow the
handyboard to transmit information over the serial line.  What I am looking
for is if anyone knows were I could find a serial for Microsofts
Visual C++ 5.0.  I would like to find one that is free or sharware but any
information on any serial that will work would be appreciated.
Thanks.

At long last, I dusted off Chuck McManis Handyboard library and ported it
to V5. No reason why it can't work with V4.5 either ;-) Anyway, to try it
out, point your browser to

ftp://ftp.imagecraft.com/pub/libhb.zip

Chuck really did a great job with the LCD. There are commands to scroll,
move etc. Make sure you try the lcdtest2.c test.
