What I’ve been up to lately

I’ve been really busy recently and have not had much time to work on my side projects. One that I’ve been working on off and on for some time is a networked PIC micro-controller. This morning I finally got it responding to ICMP echo request (ping) 🙂 The next thing I need to do is …
