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.


Notes.

Payment is via PayPal only. Please use the PayPal buttons. PayPal will "automatically" calculate shipping.

Note that I have set my PayPal cart to calculate different shipping for the US, for Canada and for all other.

I ship to the US including all territories, embassies, FPO and APO. I also ship to Canada, Western Europe (including Scandinavia, UK, Ireland, France, Greece, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg, Germany, Switzerland, Spain and Portugal), Israel, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. (No Italy).

I do not ship to other places such as Africa and South or Central America. Consider using SkyBox in Miami.

PayPal will add 6 percent sales tax for Maryland residents.

There is a $25.00 minimum on International orders. There is no minimum on US Orders.

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


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.

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.
