MPLAB X PIC32 projects now on Bitbucket.org!
In the process of updating the projects in the PIC32 book (“Programming 32-bit microcontrollers in C”) to the latest and greatest version of MPLAB X and the XC32 compiler, I have decided to adopt a proper versioning tool (Mercurial aka Hg) … Continue reading
X Files
I have just received from a friend a link to a piece of the history of the first “singe chip calculator”: http://www.spingal.plus.com/micro/ The web page is titled “Microprocessor History” and tells the story of what was research and development work … Continue reading
In-Animate
MPLAB X is evolving, and this means that new features are being added at every release. Sadly some old features that have been with us since the early days of MPLAB have gone the way of the dodo. Animate is … Continue reading

Playing MP3 and Wav files on the uMedia boards
I have received a couple of requests recently for support interfacing a PIC32 or a PIC24 to some popular MP3 decoders/codecs from VLSI technology. Since I had a PIC24 MicroMedia board on my desk that begged to be used, I … Continue reading

More tools from Mikroe
Every now and then I get a chance to talk to the guys at Mikroe and they never fail to surprise me, both for the amount of work they get done in a short time and most importantly the quality … Continue reading
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
