SDHC and SDXC
A couple of readers have warned me recently that SDHC and SDXC cards are becoming the norm and that spells troubles for the unaware. In fact, both in the PIC24 (both editions) and the PIC32 book, I spent a couple … Continue reading
CUI32 Stem
CUI stands for “Create USB Interface” and it is really an open project based on the PIC32 that includes a large set of modular hardware and software solutions, in their words: “The Create USB Interface is an open source microcontroller … Continue reading
32-bit PIC programming in Python!
It has been a long journey for me to learn about modern interpreted object oriented programming languages, first on the desktop (see post here), later on industrial control and data acquisition applications (see post here) and now I feel like … Continue reading

The Sinclair ZX Spectrum turns 30!
Happy Birthday ZX Spectrum! Today Google UK dedicates the daily doodle to the 30th birthday of the ZX Spectrum. I am part of that generation that learned to love computers/programming playing games like Manic Miner on an 8-bit little console … Continue reading
Dmitry Grinberg
There are rare times when you realize unmistakably that you are in the presence of true genius. Visiting Dmitry’s web site today was one of them! Check out this project and you will get the picture! Now genius and … Continue reading
Codecademy
Last night, I was cleaning up (managing) my notes (I use Evernote for pretty much everything in my life) and I stumbled upon a reference to “codecademy”. For as much as I tried I could not remember what it was … Continue reading

I was reading recently about the (slow) adoption of object oriented programming languages in the embedded world. There is quite a sad situation, while in the mainstream, OOP languages are pretty much a standard, in the embedded world, they … Continue reading
Maximite
I have to confess that, if I had not already done so in the past, when I wrote some of the material for the PIC24″flying” book such as the composite video and the keyboard interface examples, I had a bigger … Continue reading
Atypical Curiosity
Actually I am typically pretty curious, especially when it comes to programming languages. Atypical is a programming language that I discovered recently almost by mistake. It was designed for the PIC and around the PIC assembly (midrange, 14-bit core) by … Continue reading
