Although there is the HEXMON program, I too, have been trying to do what
you describe, and encountered the same problems. I found it to be a
timing issue, and, through trial and error, have a found some settings
that seem to work most of the time.

My goal was to make C code that looked the same when compiled and run on
the Host is the code that ran under IC. 

I am including the host and HB programs here. If anyone knows of a
better way of communicating, please let us know.

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

Hi

I suggest that you contact ImageCraft.
http://www.imagecraft.com/software/index.html  or  info@imagecraft.com 

They have a C compiler for 68HC11 CPU's that will do what you want, including a
library for the HandyBoard (see attached e-mail) !

Hello,
	I have a handyboard and 6500 series poloroid ultrasonic ranging
system.  I have downloaded the sonar.c programs used to drive the
transducer for distance measurements.  There appears to be a problem, or
atleast I think there is, with it.  The sonar device is supposed to give
distances of up to 35ft but the TCNC time register is 16 bit and in the
program it says "if ((peekwork(0x100e)-start_time) < 0)" too much time has
elapsed and it returns -1.  Therefore as soon as about 32700 counts goes
by, that value will go negative. I believe hex goes from 0 to 32768 then
-32768 to -1. In this case the difference will be < 0 if the object
is greater then about 9 ft.  I have taken this out of the program and can
get accurate measurements up to atleast 30 ft but I have to look at the
value given and add multiples of 2^16 to it to figure out where it is.
Taking this out of the program also can get you stuck if you really are
out of range.
	I have looked on the motorola web pages to see about this clock
and it says that the clock goes till it reachs $ffff and then flags
somewhere that there is an overflow and then starts over.  I don't know
how to find out were in the chip this information might be stored.  I know
the TCNT time register is at 0x100e from the notes on Simplified Sonar for
the Handy Board but I don't know where that overflow flag is stored.  I
thought that maybe by setting this flag and using it in the loop you might
be about to get a greater distance out of you measurement.
	Another question I have is about IC.  I would like to display
numbers greater then 32000 and right now there are several int type
variables and normal C comands don't seem to work to make a "long" or any
other type that are larger then 32000.  How does IC handle larger numbers?
	I am only a student and don't have much experience with this stuff
so I would appreciate any feedback I can get on either of these problems.
Thanks.

  Check out this site.  It works well.  The only problem I had was timing
issues when trying to read and write to the port too quickly.

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.
