Adam, I support Russ on this. I usually post similar info when I run
across articles in magazines or on-line newsletters from various vendors
that relate to current or recent topics here. Embedded control covers a
lot of subjects beyond PIC programming. There were several hardware notes
in that Phillips article that directly relate to recent topics here.
Programming the PIC becomes irrelevant if we don't allow discussion of
the hardware in real-world applications. Finally, it was marked "OT" and
we all have a "DEL" key...
