Wow!, I make one post then turn around and another year has passed me by....YIKES!
What I am going to try to do is take a pic of each of the projects I'm working on and post them here. I've been busy with Raspberry Pi attendance monitors (Pi, Barcode Scanner & mariadb backend), Pi remote controls (using the above attendance monitor) and have gone back to playing with PIC micros using assembler and C compiler!
Here is a photo of my ...old... PICkit 2 connected to the microchip Low Pin Count Demo board. If you want to check out some AWESOME tutorials on programming the PIC's go to David Meiklejohn's site gooligum (cool name!)
