Bending the laws of physics
As a reader pointed out today, when preparing one of the pictures in Chapter 3, I did use a little trick, I had almost forgotten… I did reduce the DELAY constants by a factor of 100 to … speed things … Continue reading
Electronica 2008
This is the week of the Electronica 2008 in Munich (Germany) and I am available at the Microchip booth (A4-560) all week to talk about 16 and 32-bit programming but especially about flying! If you are a PIC24 or a … Continue reading
Deep Blue PIC32
An email from Tim O. this week made me think about the possibility of computers conversing with humans, or rather the impossibility of it, as Turing once proposed it as the ultimate test of the machine intelligence. This in turn … Continue reading
MIPS DSP Libraries
With the latest release of MPLAB C32 compiler v.1.04, Microchip has added a complete set of DSP functions for the PIC32 to complement the standard math libraries. Among them you will find a number of vector processing functions and as … Continue reading
