Yeah, in fact, I'm sure I put those in the wrong order, in more than one way! LOL

...let me fix that!
Just before his wifey sees it. Lol
LOL, Yeah! Good save, Chris. :P
Death comes upon swift wings to the man who pisses off the wife. Lol

MicroNut

Even though I'm local I packed up my car with granz's stuff, snacks, drinks then I started clearing out my work room and had to stop before I needed a u-haul! :) So I'm coming with a box full of miscellaneous development boards to show anyone who is interested. One of the most interesting ones is one of OBC's last Propeller boards. It paired the Propeller with a Microchip microcontroller running Micromite basic. Looking forward to meeting all of you!

I remember the Propeller MicroMite, OBC actually gave me one, but I never got it working. That was very much a pity, but the PicoMite is a direct descendant of that MicroMite. MM-BASIC is indeed a very powerful language, and includes a huge amount of built-in drivers for LCDs, keypads, sensors, PWM devices, and so much more.

LOL, I don't know about death, but it is definitely better to not tick off the wife.

Plus, as the Bible says, the two have become one; so when my wife loses, I lose - and when my wife wins, I win. Marilyn has been my best friend for over 45 years, and I enjoy keeping her happy.

Isn't it so interesting that, many years ago when I was less wise, I didn't realize the satisfaction of taking care of my wife, of doing things for her. Making her happy makes me happy and she feels the same. If we only knew and / or realized these things when we were younger.

I'm blessed to have found this happiness twice in my life. With Valerie and I both being widows, it is very much apparent that we never know how much time we have here, and so our goal is always to make the best of it. Sunday after breakfast, we're going on a train ride in PA. We're going to enjoy and relax before heading home.

Chris, is that the Titusville Train ride? I did a fall one a couple of years back. It is a nice relaxing ride.

I've found that Logic Analyzer I got years ago, and downloaded n tested 2 diff Saleae software for it. The one in the zip file didn't work, then again, maybe I did something wrong, but the Logic 2 exe file it did function. I'll connect it later after work and test it with my Rigol Scopes signal gen function.

Myself and my friend Terry Lukas are planning on coming. What do I need to do to register for a small table?

I'm inclined to defer to MicroNut or Granz on this, but I think if you just show up tomorrow morning, perhaps by 11A, you should be good to go.

That logic analyzer, I just tested with Logic 2 and my Rigol DS1104Z, all channels functional!

Yes, we still have tables available.
