Hi All, Been some 18 months since I posted a message here. In Australia we have an item that the rest of the world knows nothing about= .. A Maximite SM1 prototype is being shown in the northern hemisphere for the = first time at=20 http://makerfaire.com/detroit/2011/ in Detroit at the end of this month, at= Chuck Hellebuyck's stand. What is a Maximite? Remember the TRS80 computers from the late 1970's? What about programming i= n QBasic in the 90's? Well, this little=20 computer will bring back some memories. Even if you don't remember those wo= nderful things from the early days of PC's,=20 you will still find the Maximite interesting, and useful! The Maximite is a hand sized computer based on the Pic32 processor. You can= program it in MMBasic (very similar to=20 QBasic), it runs on 9 volts or USB power, connects to a VGA screen (or TV) = and standard PC keyboard, and has 20 I/O pins=20 you can access with software. Uses an SD card for program loads and saves. some useful URLs Chuck Hellebuyck's Site: http://www.elproducts.net/chips16.html Geoff Graham's site: http://geoffg.net/maximite.html Support site: http://www.thebackshed.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=3D16&PN=3D1 My sales site: http://www.dontronics-shop.com/the-maximite-computer.html My blog site for it: http://www.themaximitecomputer.com/ Cheers Don... --=20 Don McKenzie Dontronics Site Map: http://www.dontronics.com/sitemap E-Mail Contact Page: http://www.dontronics.com/email Web Camera Page: http://www.dontronics.com/webcam No More Damn Spam: http://www.dontronics.com/spam New MMBasic Computer http://www.TheMaximiteComputer.com --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
