Not today, it's Saturday.

I'm sorry to chime in, Bill.
But if you ever decide to build a Ladybug kit, I've got to get my hands on it.

Ladybugs are my heroes.
And they are currently all gathered up on my balcony, thanks to the previous generation of ladymen, ladywomen and ladybugs whom thought it was a good idea to hide out on the balcony during the past winters. At the same time, they felt necessary to "mark their territory" and deem the area worthy for the next few generations of the lady family to sleep in.

Thus I've decided to love ladybugs. And your future ladybug kit. Ladybugs are t3h bomb.

Omar be careful not to overdose on cough medicine!!!

The Ladybug may be the next kit, I have a working prototype.
Its by far the my most complex kit to date.
Ethernet ENC28J60, PIC18F4620, 25LCxxxx EEPROM, 10 super I/O, LCD / expansion connector.

My goodness Bill, now that's wicked cool!

So it could potentially be a way to set up / learn about using PIC to make a small-ish server? At least play around with internet connectivity?

Either way, that'll be fun to document!

I said I liked ladybugs before.
Now I'm in love (haha).

A brilliant programmer named Jorge Amodio has modifed the Microchip stack and it can be found here http://www.ljcv.net/projects/index.html
I've contacted him and he put compiled it for my Ladybug prototype, it's quite amazing actually and could be a cornerstone of any home automation project.
Of course the Ladybug version will be fully compatible with both the Inchworm & Junebug programmers / debuggers.

One change is the use of a 9.8304MHz crystal, ideal for both a real time clock jiffy timer and perfect for a baud clock.

RS485, Ethernet + the "super I/O" represents 10 configurable I/O ports at assembly time can either be...

raw input (some pins Analog or Digital)
raw output (CCP1 & CCP2 should be available)
Opto input
Opto Output
Relay Output

Jorges Prototype.
