    Hopefully the book is still moving along......

    All i can suggest is to cover the PICBASIC commands in a MORE depth.

    Most of the PBP manual is a cruel joke to say the least, the "examples" (for want of a better term) are very light, and could have easily added a few more variations of how to use the instructions in different scenario's.

    I have several other PBP-Project books which all cover PBP commands too, However, they've done nothing more than COPY the text out of the PBP manual, so having those books hasn't been advantageous to me.
    (i bought these books to learn more about using PBP in various projects, and feel somewhat short-changed from them).

    My apologies if i'm harsh, but i'd like to see a unique PBP book come out, not a duplicate of the manual

    Regards,
    Marty.

    Hello Bruce,
    If you do get your book finished/published And if autographed, please jus let me know WHERE to send my $75.00 contribution to the care and feeding of BRUCE.
    BTW The SAME OFFER for Darrel and Melanie. Heck considering the efforts put in by all of you, if there was a collective effort, I might even go as far as $125. Seriously, you guys and gals are in a league of your own.

    NOW BEFORE THE FLAMES START, let me say that THE LIST IS NOT COMPLETE.
    There are MANY OTHERS, Steve and Jerson also come to mind.
    What I am saying is this .....
    REWARD those who publish outstanding works!!!!

    Cool

    Hi, GTV-Geek

    You do forget a full MINE of PBP enlightments ...

    The Basic Stamp Application manuals ... ( have a look before answering ... lol )

    http://www.parallax.com/tabid/440/Default.aspx

    But, as You'll also understand there ... it's a learning GUIDE.

    YOU WON'T LEARN TO USE PBP IN A BOOK BUT ON YOUR BREADBOARD ...

    It would help you understand what Microsoft was/is trying to do with vista
    But I think they skipped a couple of chapters.

    Default Make sure to include tutorial on setting config fuses

    Bruce,
    I look forward to your book!
    Make sure you include a tutorial on how to set config fuses and where to find the info for most PIC chips. This was a major learning curve hurdle for me when I was learning PICBASIC and how to program PIC MCUs.
