I am wondering if this group is still active, or if anyone here is still interested in trying to make it active once again. Right now, the list is just full of...

Just wanted to say hello and that I am new to the group. Current interest are tinkering! Areas of abilities are moderately decent at PicAssembler and somewhat ...
Sounds good to me. Hi, I'm Izzy(Or Izzy84075, or Ryan). I'm decent at PicBasic Pro, and I've worked a little bit with C/C++, but I can do very little with...
Since posting previously about that, we have yet another member who has started bouncing. Also, Yahoo has announced that they are going to go through the...
Jim Robertson dropped a small bomb on the DIY Laser Tag community yesterday: http://www.laserforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2252&p=39779#post39779 ...
... UPDATE: It was the ISD1600B and ISD1700 <http://www.winbond-usa.com/en/content/view/36/1518/#Digital> (ISD1100 is fairly low input sample rate and low on...
I don't know much about the ISD line (worked with it YEARS ago but you can't even find documentation for the parts I still have lying around). What we have...
Okay now that I know the concept works, the micro code is decent (have plans for minor improvements) and some LCD (parallel) displays on order for more...
Confusion over the use of resistors between MCU and LCD module. The PicDem 2 PLUS board didn't have them. I am going to bread board one w/ them and test...
... Well I put 4x 1k ohm resistors inline with the datalines (as they change direction)... prolly can put 1k on the enable, RS (register select) and R/W...
... FWIW: 1k on enable means the rise/fall times (most likely the fall between two rises of a nibble in 4-bit mode) take too long. Suspect it's a "filter" (RC)...
... Hi Doug -- I am still keeping an eye on this group and as can be seen by the hit counter, we ARE getting traffic. As we get more information up here, we...

Hello all, I'm new here and I'm thinking about making a Tag system for myself. I've got several old Laser Tag sets but they are showing trier age. So, I'm...
Hi all, I'm new here but have some questions about the current state of Laser Tag design. I've noticed that all the current DIY designs have the sensors...
Have ya'll thought about going with a wireless link between the gun and sensors? Low power rf link sets run between $6 to $12. They are addressable and the...
... Theres actually been some discussion along these lines over at LaserForums.com recently. The discussion ther centers mainly around establishing a common...
Okay .. that was a lame subject, but what I am really interested in are comments from other PIC folks... Primarily (software) development tools of preference...
... I, personally, use PIC Basic Pro. I've never really done anything with anything else, though(PIC-wise), so I can't say whether it's actually any good or...
It has been a long time since I did anything with PICs (years now), but when I was first learning how to use them I too just used the free assembler from...
... So far ... I have to agree ... doing code in assembler leaves nothing to chance... it also means more coding tho! ... And that is something I've thought...
