Ron, From somebody who is currently deep in the doo-doo of PIC32 programming, I can tell you a couple of my own findings: 1) The PIC32 is the most complicated...
Wow, and I thought I was the only one who ever built an ELF computer! Well, you built the original COSMAC ELF, so thats a bit more of a challenge than the KIT...

Some of you have seen a cute little LCD unit that Lewis put together for his portable robot/programming with the Propellor. The LCD is 5" diagonally and has a...

I would say that sensorless BDCM are not useful for robotics applications unless the motor has to run all of the time. I can't see a sensorless BDCM being used...
... First we need to stop calling them Sensor-less since if you are sensing the position using back EMF then it has a sensor. ;P Also Stepper motors are...

I think a lot of folks also use them for constant power applications where you don't care exactly about measuring the speed or load. I know people use them in...
