ELEKTOR FORUMS

Hi,

Yes, when I installed the USB/RS232 board it generates a virtual RS232 port, in my case port 7.

I have successfully run the first few examples where the PIC generates a series of 'A's without any problems (well one big problem)

I can't program a PIC with the USB/RS232 board's USB lead fitted. This is a headache, has I have to remove the USB cable each time I make a change to the PIC.

Any suggestions on fixing this.

I did notice when I installed the USB/RS232 board I already had a newer version of the FDTI driver and I hope this isn't the issue

By popular request the course is now also available in the Netherlands!

Note that the language of the course is English though.

www.ideaprojektahunakhir.blogspot.comHi,
just wanna get familiar with this forum before i purchase this product.

How can i know the total cost for this Distance Learning Course including the postal cost.I'm from malaysia.

In that case, the total costs of the course package (without the E-blocks hardware package) will be $ 605 ($575 + $30 shipping costs). If you prefer to order the course package plus the E-blocks hardware package, the total costs will be $1175 ($1145 + $30).

Hi confused... Yes just as I found. Very poor value for money, more errors in the first 60 pages than you can shake a stick at! I don't feel at all confident that ANY thought has gone into this course at all.
There is so much missing and far too much ASSUMED knowledge. I would quite like to get my money back and start with something else but I guess that's never going to happen!. I'm afraid that I have lost interest in it and also anything else that Elektor produces. Very dissatisfied, would NOT recommend it to my worst enemy! ELEKTOR this is NOT worth the money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GeenBert The reported errors have been corrected in the latest edition.

Is is possible to either send out or post PDF file with just corrected pages to existing customers.
Then we can replace all the pages that contain know errors.
If the abouve two suggestions are not possible, then maybe you could come up with an alternative?

I believe it should be exsisting as well as new cutomers that has correct couse wording, since course does not come cheap.

Just read Bernie W and Confused's remarks, and I have to say I enjoyed the course as far as I got, about a third of the way through. There have been a number of errors, which was frustrating to start with, but it is the first training package, and it was translated into English. The teaching method of the course makes you think. You have to think what the software is telling the hardware to do, and why.

Its been 30+ years since I 'did' electronics, and the processors at the time, the Intel 8085, was my choice of processor. It had the same amount of power as this PIC, and some of the features seem to be very similar.

Hopefully I will get time this month to start it again.

If corrections are being sent out for the documentation then Yes please.

Can anyone help me out with this next error:
