[Robotgroup] Parts donation

[Gray Mack]

Nice, these are around $8 a piece. 
I think I saw 5 people interested in PIC programming on the survey.
I have several '877s in my stock at all times. Pic16 series are easiest programmed in assembly (you really need a pic18 if you want to do ansi C work) but they are great for timing critical applications like led driving, analog input monitoring, servo controllers, motor driving. 

For example you could write a program for serial to stepper motor driver where you send it X,Y,Z vectors from a PC and it handles the step timing (a common problem when driving stepper motors from a PC).
Just getting the ideas flowing.

I have had a windfall here at work. Some parts were being surplussed
   and I would up with four tubes of microcontrollers. I have 20
   PIC16F877 and 25 PIC16F876. I plan on donating five each to TRG.
   The '877s are 40 pin DIPs and the 876' are 28 pin SOIC.
   If I get REALLY crazy, I'll toss in a couple of my MC68HC11F1 (in 68
   pin PLCC) that I have had sitting around for years..
   Where do I send them?
   Cheers,
   Mark (aka Robomarkov)
