Your new book sounds great! I wish to use assembly so my question is: Is
there enough circuits and robotic theory in the book to justify buying it?
Do you explain how the code works so I can apply the ideas to assembly?
Thanks and good luck.

Subject: [PIC]: New Releases: El Cheapo, BASIC87x and "Programming Robot
Controllers"


Hi Folks,

I just wanted to let everyone know about some updates to my current
projects:

1.  I just put up a new version of the El Cheapo Windows interface software
(0.84).  This version corrects a problem that a number of people discovered
this week when they tried to load the El Cheapo Windows interface software
on disk drives over than "C".

My next task for this is to add a configuration fuse display/update
function.


2.  I've gotten a number of questions from people using the BASIC87x if
there is anyway in which they can run it at any other speed than 4 MHz with
a 1200 bps serial interface.  Version 0.85, which I've just put up on my
site has two defines, "CLOCKSPEED" and "DATARATE" which can be changed to
specify the operating speed of the PICmicro MCU as well as the serial
interface.  The conditional code supporting these defines correctly load
SPBRG and TXSTA for the data rate as well as the configuration fuses.

Comments and suggestions are always welcome.  Next on the agenda is to work
with the user interface and make sure it is 100% (I suspect there are a few
problem areas).


3.  My latest book, "Programming Robot Controllers" is available.  In this
book, I show how mobile robot controllers are implemented with sensors.  The
examples in the book use the PIC16F627 and PICC Lite.
