Jon ... Nope. By "shut down" I mean I told Windows to close and it did so. I didn't just hit the power switch. The problem only occurred when serial data was...

Peter, Following is the description from the Garmin GPS18x technical spec. It implies that the problem can occur for any serial interface. My experience is...
Hi, ... I also use USB serial adapters quite a bit. We use them to download our software images to the embedded linux boards we use. We typically download at...

Hi Dan I've been away again! Road maps are for people who have no idea where they are going. Unfortunately for AGI, road maps depend on people actually having...

Hi Dan This time it was play/work. Went to Leipzig for the Bimbo Party and then worked on stuff for JIm Whiting's Boxer Shorts Bingo show in London, brought it...
... From that page, it looks like you've had a good time combining work and fun over the years. Is this what you're talking about with the other thing? Bimbo...

As a farmer friend who liked one-liners once said, "You can't come back from where you haven't been." After 50+ or 3,000+ (your choice) years of intense, high...

Hi Bimbo Town, bit of a mystery. Here Bimbos are good looking air headed women and I guess there must be some at the Bimbo parties. Jim has built several Bimbo...

... Following link calls Bimbotown "the world's only robotic nightclub". Sounds pretty decriptive. Has some good pictures of the robotic drummer. ...
... Hello Lamis. This is a simple problem for someone in an EE program, and who has taken a basic course in logic. Sounds like you are neither. I am surprised...

It seems to me, from experience that people who have access to the sort of robot you are dreaming about, don't have any idea of what to do with it, as if it is...
Hello Dan. Thank you for taking the time to read my message. I do appreciate your assistance very much . I've downloaded the datasheet for the L293B and I...
