PIC Programming


Been trying a bit more on the PIC development board over the weekend.
Currently still using the free version of Flowcode, though it has serious limitations of the program size and what E-Block modules it can compile to.

Keep thinking about upgrading to the full version, though version 4 is due soon, will wait to see what it brings.
The upgrade 3 to 4 is not going to be free so no point jumping in at the moment.






This is my development board. It can be used with the extra hardware modules called E-Blocks.

See the Matrix Multimedia Website for more information. Also on my website.
They are based in Halifax, thats the one in West Yorkshire not Nova Scotia.

Correction

The snow is now setting quite quickly

Snowing (Again)

After a nice Saturday, and a reasonable Sunday moring the rain started around midday.
By 2 pm it was sleeting/snowing/hailing.
Dont think its going to settle to much at the moment, but could still do without it.
Roll on the summer - I've had enough of the cold

CD IV


Been spending on the cd's again.
Just wish we had a decent shop in town, instead of the tiny HMV.
Buying online is cheaper, but I like looking through the racks.

Red Arrows

Leaving work tonight, it was a lovely afternoon. (4-30pm).
Blue sky and a lowish sun, shining on the paintwork of the Red Arrows flying about.
They probably thought, "Hmm nice evening, lets go up for a jolly and pretend were practicing for the next display."
Just a pity I didn't have time to pull over and watch them for a bit.

Winter

The cold weather has returned to England. Not had the snow round here thankfully.
Think there might be a touch of frost in the night, my weather statiion reads 0.9°C outside at the moment.
Roll on summer I want to ditch the thick jumpers and heavy coats.
Only 23 more days of G.M.T
