I posted a new category under Electronics I named Robotics. Then under that I moved my Remote Conning System topic. Next I added a new topic called Activitybot, which is the brand name of a new robotic system with which I will soon be experimenting. It's a kit made by Parallax. I decided I wanted to...

Wow! Getting back into micro computer code writing is harder than I remember. Perhaps my 70-year-old brain cells are slowing? Haw! Good excuse, eh? I will go with that for now. The problem is I am starting all over and am finding it impossible to just pick up where I left off. No real surprise. It’s...

That's just me, scratching my itch. I dug out my Parallax hardware which includes a "Basic Stamp" and a "Propeller" microprocessors. I at one time had them talking to each other through the "XBee" RF modules. All part of my "Remote Conning" or Radio (computer) control for model boats. It's going to ...

ArduinoParallax PropellerRaspberry Pi Getting “antsy” to play with a microcomputer, again. Not the PC type but the embedded definite purpose type. The genera includes Raspberry Pi, Parallax, and Arduino type microprocessors. I had (have) a very interesting project using Parallax hardware to remotely...

If you are a long time follower of my websites, you probably know I have created many projects that required a fair amount of electrical and electronic knowledge. For example I scratch built several of my CNC systems from scratch. I experimented and built personal computers long before IBM and Apple...
