Hi all,
This is just a note to encourage those that are struggling to get their arms around PBP and the whole world of PIC's....
I have been banging my head at some form of this for more years than I am willing to admit. I'm still trying to figure out a way to use my obsolete UV eraser for whitening my teeth :-) .
A little while ago, I was on the phone with meLabs and we were discussing some things that would make the learning curve a bit less steep. Hopefully they will be able to find the time to implement some of the ideas that they are pondering, I look forward to it. They recognize the absolute necessity of this list and the quality of the people on it. Thank you all. Even those that have asked the simple questions, it has allowed the rest of us to benefit from them.
Anyway, the point of this rant.... A few years ago, I had paid someone (not on this list, AFAIK) $1000 to write some code that I needed and I had no idea how to accomplish it. PWM from an A/D reading on a 12F683. Last night, I accomplished the same thing in less than 3 hours without even referencing his code. Worked on the first burn too! Whoo Hoo!
I'm not ready to call myself a Programmer yet, but the help and insight that comes from the folks here is beyond what someone could pay for. Thank you to all that take the time and have the patience to stick with it.
