Background If you have been following Hackaday for a while, you will have seen on numerous occasions the KENBAK-1, regarded by many as the first commercial personal computer. Ten years ago Mark Wilson introduced KENBAK-uino, a reproduction...
As Michael mentioned, he somewhat nerd sniped me with the the idea of squeezing a Towers of Hanoi solver in not the Science Fair Microcomputer Trainer. As an avid fan of both the Gakken FX R-165 and the Science Fair Microcomputer Trainer, I could't let...
IntroductionThe intention is to introduce PIC32 into ece4760 in the Fall 2015 semester. This is a start at understanding how the chip works. The general way to learn this processor is to look at examples which come with the MPLAB distrubution, Use the...
