We've already published issue #1

Issue #2 & a supplimental issue should be ready for June.

Bill! You should advertise the JPUG in the microcontroller forum. I didn't know #1 had been published till I stumbled on it days after.

It's now a sticky in the books forum.

That's how I found it.

But I rarely look there. Just caught it out of the corner of my eye while looking for something else.

What about dividing the topics into sections and seeing who has something worthwhile to add ? You could check the submitted content and see if it is good enough ?

Bill has created a online publication called the JPUG which can be found on blueroomelectronics.com

Dear Om!
It is a very good idea and I would like to assist you in this project. I have some intersting projects with me, but only written ideas, In order to put them to work I need to burn the PICs and test them before I send them to you.

At th e moment there is a problem of burning the PICs cos I do not have a good programmer. so I thahght of having one from Blueroomelectronics. Either junebug or Inchworm+ If u can assist me in this regards I will be great full to you.

Thanking you
Regards.

Here's the idea.
It's a book that can be downloaded free for personal use, commercial use would be asked to make a donation.
A dynamic book that can grow as new chapters / ideas are added.
Most PIC books are somewhat outdated (16F84 books) or very expensive like Embedded Design with the PIC18F452 $93

The sort of PICs and projects I'd like to use initially, well the list could change but mostly 16F & 18F series parts that include debug support, I personally belive the debugger is such an important tool for learning I'd like the projects to be able to use it. Of course projects that use any of my kits would be preferred as I've designed them for student, learning use.

What I need from you...
Ideas, programs in ASM, BASIC or C. Must be the free or student editions. Even just a working program.

What do I / we (the editors) do

I'll attempt to make all the chapters have the same look and feel, I can also draw schematics, design PCBs and do 3D illustrations if needed.

What's in it for you? Your name in lights and serous contributors will be considered for the "PCB samples" list

Your project, source code, demo whatever will have your name on it.

How will the collaboration work...
Using Google Docs of course

A basic word processor that will allow both editing and viewing.

If you're interested in such an endeavor RSVP in this thread.
