The PIC Club is the current format of the Programming Special Interest Group of the Sydney PC User Group. A PIC is a Programmable Interface Controller, or microprocessor.
We discuss programming, particularly microprocessor programming, and project design. The PIC Club meets in Sydney on the second Tuesday of each month.
Come and show your projects, or see some others. We have a computer with a projector and a webcam, so bring along your project, or pictures of it on floppy, CD, USB flash drive, mobile phone, digital camera, or laptop and we'll project it on a screen. We have a broadband internet connection, so discussion can be wide ranging. Everyone is welcome, and there is no fee for a first time visitor. |

Les showed samples of the bottles handled by the robot he described last month, and gave details of how they are made.
Alex showed us an alarm clock radio to which he had added a Picaxe08M to play its tunes on wake-up.
Bob showed videos of various multi-legged robots.
Neville visited the Microzed webpage to show the new Picaxe-18M2. It replaces all the older 18 pin Picaxes, can run four separate tasks in parallel and operate from a 3volt battery pack.
Stuart showed how he used Microchip's 16 bit development board to make a voltmeter. |
At the next meeting we'll see some new microprocessor applications and programming examples. That will be on the 2nd Tuesday of the month - August 10, 2010 at 6pm at the usual place: 1st Floor, Sydney Mechanics School of Arts,
280 Pitt Street, Sydney.
It is one block from the Sydney Town Hall train station in George Street.
