Hi Louis,

The Picstart design Contest book was published by Microchip in 1993.

One article for a possible design contest entry is a digital compass
using a PIC 16C71, one 16 X 1 LCD Display, and a dual analog Hall Effect
Compass Sensor (Dinsmore 1525) which fed into AIN1 and AIN2 on the
PIC 16C71-16.

Hope this is off some help, but I,ve no idea where to obtain the book
now.
