I'm really into Electronics, ever since my dad made me an electric motor out of a lump of cork, some copper wire, drawing pins, and a horseshoe magnet. Anyway I've discovered PICs. They are programmable MicroProcessors. I've learnt how to program them etc, and have found a practical use for them. I am building an RS232 data terminal, with a 4x20 LCD display. The prototype is built and works fine. I've stopped developing the software temporarily, so I can build a prototype Printed circuit board. I've designed the board on the PC with PCB123 software, and now I need to create the board itself. I've ordered some board, some ferric chloride etch, and some photo-resist spray. Hopefully it'll arrive in the next few days.....
The Babylon 5 & AC DC bit is funny. I ordered a Babylon 5 special edition DVD from Play.com and it arrived this morning. Or rather AC DC 'Jewel in the house' DVD came instead...OOPs...I've posted it back, and they are going to send me the right one in the next couple of days..
