Well it happened, I got banned at D_DIY

For following forum rules and staying ON TOPIC. Following suggestions of why a PIC code doesn't perform as desired. The topic went from a pic code to Chinese writing etc.
Maybe retribution seeing how a certain mod over there got banned from Electro Tech then tried getting back on using a different name.
Oh well all they discuss lately are straw sandals, cheap relays and that TAP-28 board. I even got cussed out with four letter words.
Over here many useful electronic items are discussed that are interesting. Much more friendly environment.
Without my posts the forum kinda gets boring at times.
I just had to voice my opinion seeing how one is censored over there.
They do have lots of interesting PIC projects and code examples.

I expect it has been over a year since I logged in over there. Does look like there is intelligent life as first post I looked at today was about how to organize include and header files for a c project.

I'm sorry it didn't work out Doug. As you know it was a little more complicated than just "staying on topic".

Anyhow, like I said, I'm sure you will find a community that you better connect with.

What do you know? They really have talked about straw sandals at Digital-DIY! But your comments seem to take it really out of context guy! Here's the post I found talking about the sandals:

Not so smart, it would seem. Wow, what a varied assortment of cra...eh....stuff. Downright cheap electronics, parts for a bunch of different laptops, straw sandals with matching socks, tattoo needles...

I did buy some of the Dallas DS18B20 temperature probes for $3 each, a couple more of the AD9850 signal generator modules used in the wine glass buster, one of the breadboard power supplies (those look sweet!) and some other stuff adding up to $50...plus the 5 relays I had already purchased.

Aren't you trying to make some of those temperature things work? I don't know about you but relays kind of go hand-in-hand with microcontrollers.
