'reserving' memory space

[mackrackit]

Was it a waste of time?
Hell no, i know tonns more about how PB compiles/assembles and how the rom in a pic is filled...

And now we know you are serious about this stuff!
COOL!!!!

Well, i not sure if your taking the micky or not...

But yes, i is serious...
I learned everything i know, wether it's IT systems, Web developement / dynamic content / eCommerce through to electronics and laws of physics etc by doing it, trying things out, making mistakes...

It may be in a lot of comedy sketches... but what does actually happen why you press the red button?

My first employment was with a process control company... they were using 8086's as their core processor and the processor boards cost them £2,000 each never mind and DAC's, ADC's, comms cards or digital IO...

Since i started working with pic's I keep thinking back to those times and can't help but think I can make a process controll system that half the size and a fraction of the cost...

Today i had confirmation from crownhill that my order of 2 16F877A's, 2 20MHz res, 1 18F4550 and 100 100K resisters has been dispatched...
I'm looking forward to playing with a pic18...

i have mentioned people on the picbasic forum in one of my utube video's about my pic controled pulse motor.

Most of my free time atm is spent testing and perfecting my lenzless generator...

Thanks All
