  1. Re:It Depends on Ask Slashdot: Best Electronics Prototyping Platform? · · Score: 1

    BST (Brad's Spin Tool) - GTK Editor, separate executables for program loader and compiler. Free as in free beer, not open source, though. http://www.fnarfbargle.com/bst.html PZST (Propeller Zone Spin Tool) - Qt Editor, uses Brad's loader and compiler. Free as in free beer, is open source (not sure which license) http://code.google.com/p/pzst/ There is also an open source SPIN compiler now, if you don't want to use BST http://code.google.com/p/open-source-spin-compiler/ SIDE (Simple IDE) - Qt IDE. I think this is mostly focused on C. http://code.google.com/p/propside GCC is WIP, with the Propeller and upcoming Propeller 2 as targets. Cheers

  2. Rayslogic 3.5", 4.3", 320x240 LCD products on Ask Slashdot: Hobbyist-Ready LCD Touch Panel For Embedded Projects? · · Score: 1

    You might check out what this guy has: http://www.rayslogic.com/ Most (all?) of Ray's stuff is Parallax Propeller-based (~$8US 32bit 8-core MCU) He has 3.5", 4.3" and maybe other size panels and was at one time offering just the LCD's; ask him if he has any left if you want just them. There are already low-level drivers, and text/graphics primitives code ready to use with all his products, so you'd just be writing your application-specific code. Then this guy makes at least one acrylic enclosure made for Ray's products, too at: http://www.mountainkingtechnologies.com/ Cheers

    That's the very same answer I gave to a friend when he asked me, "You know why they do that right?". Then he said, "No, it's because they can't make a fist." X-D

  5. Re:ask a mechanic on Have Bad Cars Gone Extinct? · · Score: 1

    That was more or less my first thought when I read this, that I'd like to hear what (hopefully objective, unbiased) mechanics have to say. I haven't been a mechanic for about five years so I can't really say with any fairness what recent more cars are like.

    Re: cutting the defense budget - Defense also can mean exactly what it says: defense... I don't mean to put words into the GP's mouth, but I think people often equate the word defense (in this context) with "make better guns and/or bullets." As someone who works for a defense contractor, I'd like to make clear that the defense industry includes *defense* products, too...i.e., armor, which, my bias aside, I think is pretty important since it keeps people from being dead.
