I am a newbie. I am looking into different platforms for a tethered robot that I am now comtrolling via Parallel Port from old DOS PC. I prefer to program in...
Thank you very much for the quick response! Are there many others using the Z8 from this forum? Always nice to have real users to turn to for support. As it...
Just my 2 cents (10 c now with inflation) As you are looking for the right processor, seriously consider access to the right compiler tools. They are...
I guess I might as well put my fingers in that pie too. :) I use AVRs (but never played with the butterfly which is just a packaged AVR chip with LCD in a...
The Z8 kit includes a very nice pretty much professional grade IDE, assembler and a C compiler, JTAG-like programming pod, and a switching power supply (wall...
So far it sounds like the Z8 kit is the way to go... I believe it comes with all the development tools (which I also believe are unlimited -- not cripple-ware)...
... In for a penny -- in for a pie! ... Please excuse my ignorance, but with an LCD is it a chip or a small "module"? ... No doubt about it, there are tons of...
... So I assume the kits come populated with at least one chip to play with? I'm trying to sort out differences between kit/chip combinations. 1) Z8Encore F642...
I think that zilog fell out of favour for a while. After the Z80, they tried the 16 bit route with the Z8000 (I believe), but that never caught on. PIC's...
Yeah, the butterfly is a credit card size module really. A freak of nature if you will. :) The AVR is very efficient, especially with C code as it was designed...

Pretty good turn out for a December meeting last night. Albert demonstrated his 2nd place fire fighter . . . a crowd pleaser :) Guy demo'd some high intensity...
All, Yup my robot did make the hallway run with moderate success. Thanks to Ron Hartman who first found my programming error or else it would have been circles...
Hi, I have been using C# Express edition for the past month, and I have been very impressed. It has tons of great features, they make going back to writing C...
A few people have expressed interest in Aaron's latest IgORE board, so I just wanted to see if there's enough interest for a group purchase. Main difference...

Why two of course. That way, when you screw up one, you have a backup, and if you don't screw it up, you have two identical boards that speeds development a...
Hi Guy, Add 2 more PCBs to the lot. Thanks, BTW... The bootloader works great now that the header is stuck in on the right side on the breadboard. Thanks to...
