Yeah I know that area - my parents love going to it to find antiques etc Very attractive area that zone north of Gympie.

Thanks and welcome. I too hope that by having a website lots more ppl will get involved and create some really cool projects and spurn each other on

Yeah I'm the first to admit that But I'll keep adding to it and making it pretty

unfortunately I don't we have anyone else from the Blue Mountains here. (Any of the Sydney-siders out west in Sydney?).
I agree, it would be so good to have actual competitions. One day...........

I like the prayer Botman, although I subscribe to the version with the extra "power and the glory" which I suppose becomes "power supply and decoupling caps" or something It also sounds like you'd like the GP2X (www.gp2x.com and http://www.gp32x.com). It is a handheld games machine that has two ARM7 cores at 200Mhz at its heart and runs linux. It currently has heaps of emulators ported for it including the megadrive/Genesis and an Amiga500 one. And yeah where is a DIP coldfire? I don't think I've ever seen a larger dip than the 12Mhz 68000 from the 90s but I think it is time I did .....and yeah once we've slain the enemy on the holy war of which CPU is best, then we can get started on that other beloved holy war, ASM vs C

I think the trick is that competition is good and for the zealotry that competing CPU architectures generate, we do gain an overall benefit that technology progresses as the war wages on. As for the link on the front page, they are just links I think that people should know about, I don't get paid for them or anything. AVRFreaks is such a thriving community that people should at least know it is there I feel. If you have any suggestions for anything about the site, just post them or email me. If you have a major PIC/ARM/anything site that you think should be added on the front please post it. As for my contribution to the architecture war (in this guise as AVR v PIC): I started with PIC 16F84s and 16F88s but longed to progam in C for them (I've done a lot of code on the PC). So with google to the rescue I found out that AVRs had a port of GCC and I knew I had to play with them. I played with them and loved it (especially as AVR Studio has intergrated support for GCC now). So I guess it wasn't features or specifications that did it for me but which platform had the best supporting tools that I could access (ie not pay and arm and a leg for). (and no I haven't keept up with Microchip's 18 series) Now with cheap ARM7 cores floating around it might become a 8bit vs 32bit holy war Again having C easily accessible on the ARM7 means my personal learning curve is shortened btw I love the 68000, not from ever having programmed it directly but it was the heart of my beloved Amiga 500 back in my youth and even some of those arcade machines I lusted after (capcom)

Thats a good idea. I think a threaded rod would be too slow for what im trying to do though. I'm gonna use a parabola curve to speed up/slow down the contraption - hopefully that'll get rid of the inaccuracy caused by inertia. What project is this for Dingo if i may ask? Cheers, Michael It is for a automated router....of sorts......basically a prototype of a "3d printer" but not very sophisticated.

I've a similar project yet to be started, just to minimize lash in the chains I'm going with threaded rod to that it works like a worm gear.
Very slow be probably (fingers crossed) more accurate.

Are you sure they still stock them? I know they have a USB camera on the site but when I emailed them they said they discontinued it. Also, it depends on the PIC. I've been looking into a camera on my bot and I really think the CMUCam ( www.cs.cmu.edu/~cmucam/ ) or AVRCam ( www.jrobot.net/Projects/AVRcam.html ) are the way to go, the initial cost is worth it when you look at how much effort is required to do it from scratch. I think I'd prefer the AVR Cam as it is open source and I think AVRs are a nice microcontroller to work with.
