50%? I've found multiplying by PI a much more accurate measure of the real time involved. Phone calls, travel, paperwork, training, etc is really time consuming. Been doing this for 20 years, if it takes me 10 hours to code, then expect 31.4 hours billed.
Its called feedback. The tractors know where they are and where they should be, the difference is call ed error. The tractor merely moves in a direction to minimize the error. It doesn't matter that there is mud along the way. If for the some reason the error becomes too large, the tractor will probably enter an 'error' condition where it just stops and waits for help.
Dear Anonymous Coward,
No tool here. I'm just excited about the chip. I spent a year writing the book to help the embedded Linux community, now I'm teaching seminars to do the same.
Thanks for writing.

This Axis announcement is GREAT news!! This isn't motherboard announcement, nor a single board computer announcement. This chip running Linux is about a square inch!! I've spoken to the product manager about this MCM (multichip module) and decided to teach a seminar in March using it. See my website for specific information on January 2nd.
Why a seminar?? OEM pricing for this chip and future generations (more flash and RAM) will be less than $50 US. Probably around $35 after production is going. When developers get the power of Linux with a simple hardware interface to the real world, there will be an explosion of embedded Linux devices. This chips makes it simple: add power, an clock and you're off. I'm teaching a seminar so that I'll become familiar with the chip and let others in on this great new product.
Where's my toaster??
Hey do you want to ski, snowboard, ice climb and learn about the power of this Axis chip? Contact me.

Does the show employ an engineer or physicist as a technical advisor?
