Show me mind twisters that utilize assembler with minimal 8 bit PIC's. Or as David Brown said: "One of the great pleasures of my retirement is sol= ving difficult calculations in assembler for PIC16s." My Conway's Game of Life was typical: Take a well defined algorithm, and cr= eate it in PIC assembler using minimal hardware. Here is another example: I have a decimal value between 0 and 1. I need to= generate two integers a and b, such that a/b closely approximates the deci= mal value. One algorithm is Jon Farey's best rational approximation. Here= is a presentation: https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2010/10/20/best-rational-approximation/ These are the kinds of exercises for me. But where do I find them? =20 --=20 Bob LeDoux Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2017 16:00:31 +0100 From: David C Brown Subject: Re: [PIC] Lost Souls To: "Microcontroller discussion list - Public." Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=3D"UTF-8" One of the great pleasures of my retirement is solving difficult calculations in assembler or PIC16s. With all the pressures of deadlines gone I can spend an entire day crafting an exquisite 10 lines of assembler. Far more interesting and demanding as doing a suduko and, in the greater scheme of things, equally futile. --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
