Ordering Information


Introduction

The objective of my web site is to foster tinkering. In my mind, this is the way people learn best.

Please note that proceeds from sales are used to buy additional stock, but more importantly, to buy equipment for development of the material on this web site and to pay students to develop material. Sadly, much of the web has become nothing more than a shopping cart with no development overhead. Please consider buying from vendors who not only sell, but also are striving to advance the craft.

My only advertising is word of mouth.

Please note that I am not in a position to do consulting.


I prefer payment via PayPal. However, please use the PayPal buttons only for shipping in the US. PayPal will "automatically" calculate shipping. However, in many cases, this is too much and I will refund any excess shipping, at least to within a dollar.

I no longer process credit cards and rely totally on PayPal.

For International, please send me e-mail (pha@phanderson.com) for a quote on the shipping.

International Shipping

PC Parallel Port

Note that these books were developed prior to the popularity of Windows and one could actually run DOS and there was only one type of parallel port (now termed SPP). All routines were written using Borland's TurboC Version 2.0 for DOS and I still use this old compiler in teaching as it is simple, has a good debugger and will run on any PC. This is now available for free download at Borland Community. Click on "Museum".

I have no plans to update these books for Windows.

Although the platform, a PC running DOS with a Stnadard Parallel Port, may not be as practical as it once was, these books offer a wealth of information in interfacing with the real world. Indeed, they were written for a Parallel Port, but one might argue that a port is a port, whether it be a 8051, 68HC11, PIC, BX24 or Basic Stamp.


PICAXE

BasicX BX24, BX35

  • BasicX BX-24 - $39.95.

  • Assembled BX24 on a Jameco JE25 Breadboard. Includes BX24, JE25 Breadboard, wall power unit, 6 VDC regulator to safely power the BX24, 5 VDC to power peripherals, rest pushbutton, serial cable, wire, strippers and drawings. Assembled and tested. This is a complete system with everything you need to get started with the BX24 - $79.95.

  • Other BX-24 Items

Basic Stamp 2


Serial to Parallel LCD Kits

  • LCD #117 (9600 baud) Serial LCD plus variable LED backlight intensity plus four outputs. - $6.95.

  • LCD #117 Kit with Truly 20X4 LCD with Yellow Green Backlight - $19.95. Note that I also provide the header pins and a 4.7 Ohm (1/2 W) and 39 Ohm (3W) for limiting backlight current when using backlight sources of +5 VDC and +12 VDC, respectively.

  • LCD #108 (2400 baud) Serial LCD plus variable LED backlight intensity plus two outputs. This is primarily for PICAXE users. - $6.95.

Miscellaneous Kits

Wireless Breadboard Prototyping

  • Wire Bundle - 22 AWG solid, tinned. Includes three feet each of four colors; red and black and one light color (yellow or white) and one dark color (green or blue). This wire is ideal for solderless breadboards. Solid copper tends to break leaving a breadboard hole plugged. (Note this is about 3 feet each. In fact, it is measured as 4-1/2 wraps around my hand which has proven to be pretty close.) Note that this is included with most of our kits. $0.75.

Ordering

Privacy. No information whatever is shared with anyone.

Shipping.

I attempt to accurately charge what it costs me for shipping. Please include enough. On payments by money order, I reimburse if the included shipping is too much. If you need an estimate, please send me e-mail.

United States.

Small items such as a few ICs or a BasicX BX24 are sent First Class and are $1.50 in the US.

Heavier items in the US are sent via UPS Ground and range from $4.00 to $7.00. Note that these orders are insured and trackable via the UPS web site.

Other Countries.

International Shipping

I do not ship to South or Central America. Consider using SkyBox in Miami.

Sales Tax

Maryland residents. Please add five percent for Maryland Sales Tax.


PayPal.Com.

Please consider PayPal.Com as it is secure, greatly reduces my paperwork and it seems to work quite well. Note that my account is pha@phanderson.com. It is okay to estimate shipping. If it is too much, I will refund. If it is too little, I will request the additional. Note that I only charge for actual shipping costs. I may miss by $1.00, but I do not try to make money on shipping. I do not have any handling charge.

I no longer directly process credit cards. You can do this far more sucurely via PayPal. You can now pay on PayPal without a PayPal account.

Western Union. Please designate the destination as Bel Air, Maryland, USA. Please send me the MTCN number via e-mail.

I do not accept Bank Transfers.

Order Confirmation

This is definitely a garage type operation. Actually, I don't have a garage and thus it is taking over one room after the other in the house. I have found I am not too good in confirming every order via e-mail. Rather, I will post the status of each order as they are received at the link at the top of this page.

If you do not see your order appear in a reasonable period of time, let me know.

Happy Tinkering.
