what about http://hugeurl.com/

I did exactly what your wanting to do for a school project a couple years ago: http://pauljmac.com/projects/index.php/Mails_Here! EDIT: Phpbb 2 does not like !s in a URL. Your gona have to coppy and paste it. The ! is the last character in the link. I used a Photoresistor and and a POT on the input ...

I haven't really been keeping up with this whole thing as Ive always had "cable". Are they makeing TVs now to accept the new digital signal off the shelf? How about those little hand held TVs?

Presuming you are using a microcontroller. If you have a timer available, you can always use the timer interrupt to do the device polling. In general, I try to poll switches/buttons this way rather than use interrupts or main loop polling. There are several reasons for this: - interrupt pins are of...

yea using a pin INT on the nav buttons would make a lot of scene. good information for project im working on. Thanks!

thank god it was moved. it was causing so much trouble being the general section.

i would have put it in the other section if there hadn't been an article in this months issue.

you know i cant seem to find any place to download what the article is referencing. It says workshop6 but there's only 1-5 on his site and there's no link in the downloads for this issue section on the N&V site. But i think i understand what your saying. Sometimes i forget that code is executed ...

how would one go about writing a menu system without locking the code up.

IE you need to continue to monitor something that cannot cause an INT while also allowing someone to nav though a menu.

Smiley's article in this months is about makeing a Nav menu in C. He joked in the article saying that some users would probably laugh at his method of using a state machine and a ton of switch statements which made me wonder if theirs a better way to do it, even if it is more complex.

I started with PICs and have scene moved to AVRs. some recommended reading of you choose PICs: PIC Microcontroller: An Introduction to Software & Hardware Interfacing Its expensive, but well worth it imo. Its the best book ive ever read regarding micro controllers. It uses a PIC18 µC and has ex...

interesting project... I guess the first step is figuring out what the hunter will actually be doing. Is this just a rig to hold the rifle and take the recoil? Or are you looking for sort of SWAT robot type thing where the hunter will adjust all movement via remote (joystick). I have never worked wi...
