Hello everyone,

I have been using ic (interactive-c) to program my 6270 board (ver 2.22).
The robot I am working on has to comunicate to a pc via the serial port
for additional processing power (image processing), the problem is I don't
know how the ic talks to the pcode already running on the 6811 board.  I have
the ic source code but can't make it, and can't find any of the serial port
interaction routines.  Has anyone done anything like this?  The main thing
is that I would like to use ic to compile and download my stuff to the board
including some module that takes over the control of the serial port so that
I could run some pc executable to communicate to the board.  Any ideas/hints/
sugesstions/.. are welcomed.  Also any information about recompiling the ic
on any machines (hp-ux, sparcs, pc's) would be great.


FYI: Threre is a new set of library files for 6270 ver. 2.22 on MIT ftp server,
     which fixes problems with analog ports and a bunch of other stuff.
