Electronics, programming

[Sarah84]

Hi.
So... I am obviously geeky.... my main hobbies are programming and electronics.  I like drawing printed circuit boards and logical circuits,  it is kind of art for me :-).
In programming field I create programs for microcontrollers, not much pc related. .

Anyone interested in this kind of stuff ? :-)

[Devlyn]

I've been doing surface mount and through hole assembly and repair most of my life. No programming, though. You design it, I'll build it!

Sarah84 - that was my profession in the 1980s. Made a good living at it.

Funny how one topic dies (lol penis thread RIP!) another (pun  )pops up !!!!

The best "programs for microcontrollers" WERE "pc related" !!!

Sarah, your prolly too young, missed most of the fun, do you know what the Cadillac "usct programmer" from SD Logic was used for ? I still have mine alas, the domain is "for sale" !!! The Pirateden (redirects to Lounge0101), 'interesting-devices' & sister site 'id-discussions' (all dot coms) are still there but . . .

Now-a-days the Corporate run gov't criminals hate competition and "We The People" exist solely to serve THEM !!! Few PC's have nine-pin serial anymore was a pretty accomplished hack "the crew" still lurks!

'megados' and 'no1b4me' were INFAMOUS, I was known as "Bugs" !!

(a) On October 25, 2001, in the "ATSDSS" forum, "Ump25" posted a ... "ATSDSS" forum inquiring about how to manipulate the software on a pirated DIRECTV ...

Still ADDICTED to my ULTRA-EDIT32, a great FTP development editor with linked 'quick compile', pirates hate 'politically correct' !!!

Cheers

I'm currently studying programming. Purely PC though, I have no experience with micro controllers.

Yup, maybe I even didn't know that 1+1=10 when those stuff was popular . I think it is much easier today to program MCUs with all those real time debuggers available.

BTW by the phrase "NOT MUCH PC RELATED" ...I was meaning that I like to write more embedded sw than pc sw.

I jsut wanted to pop in and say hi to my geeky friends   But now I feel like a knuckle dragger.  QQ  I fly and fix remote robotic sub's  but  QQ  I barely follow whats being said xD  Oh welll Hi everyone!

[Chloe]

Yup, maybe I even didn't know that 1+1=10  .

LOL isn't "1+1 == 01" ?? Is my brain fried . . . Do you write like I-Phone Apps?

I'm currently studying programming. Purely PC though

What language(s) you 'guys' use?? Web based interpreted php was very similar to "C", easy adaptation over, "micro controllers" by definition are very manufacturer, chip-dependent does anyone do "assembly" anymore ??

Susan's, like most, is written in php using a MySQL database ( real-time, like awful Basic never learned, "debug" suggests interpreted, load on stack using 'hook's, no compile anymore? )

[Emily Aster]

LOL isn't "1+1 == 01" ?? Is my brain fried . . . Do you write like I-Phone Apps?

I have to ask where you're getting 01 from now. I'd expect it to be 10 too.

I've dabbled in the electronics side, but I'm mainly software these days. My language is whatever they tell me I need to write my code in and it seems to change with every new contract. After a while in the field, learning a new language takes about a day of playing around with it because they're all the same! You just need to learn the syntax for the most part.

And since you asked, I do have to still have to use x86 assembler from time to time.

[Chloe]

I'd expect it to be 10 too.

Like I said, is my brain fried??

8 bit binary . . . .
0) 00000000
1) 10000000
2) 01000000
3) 11000000
4) 00100000
etc ? ? ? How'd you girls get '10' ??
(edit: ok, my windows Calc reads right-to-left but regs load otherway 'round? )

Have the original x86 (x88?) PC register architecture manuals from IBM somewhere . . .

I'm currently doing PHP using MySQL. Just started ASP, I've done a fair bit of VB and a little bit of C++. I'm moving into app programming for Windows and Android in the next few months.

I LOVE working in assembler! It gives compact and fast execution.

[Chloe]

xander I wish I we're your age again!!! (I think  VisualBasic uses compiled, development interface, and still used obviously . . .  )

OMG I see Turbo Pascal & C are considered "Antique Software" !!! (free download avail  )

NJ, we're  ancient!! Do ya know what the TMS370C was used for?? Blue's Clue: "football card" If server scripting, anyone use Ultra-Edit32 ?? (just pulled off my server, used column mode below)

Ahh I thought it might be something like that with the whole big endian / little endian thing. I guess I should have been paying more attention cause I see binary and think math, but the topic was computers!

I do Linux kernel work for my day job, and in my spare time I'm coding up my own music player.  There is lots of fun to be had!

[Beth Andrea]

LOL...ya'all are talking gibberish to me. I know "power", "shut down", and "ctrl+alt+del". The last time I did any programming (if one can call it that), was in high school, on a TRS-80 writting in Basic...

Print "To find the area of a rectangle, please input the length and width."

Input A$ = L

...err...and that's all I remember. My brain cell capacity of that time seems to be about <1Kb...

[Devlyn]

C'mon, Beth, we'll go play with the abacus!

C'mon, Beth, we'll go play with the abacus!

Did'ja bring your slide rule!? 

[Jess42]

Way above my paygrade for sure. The only electronics I mess with is on guitars and I hate having to do that even.

[Chloe]

. . . in high school, on a TRS-80 writting in Basic...

Ooooo . . . girl ain't suppose tell age!! LOL My then to be brudder-in-law ( didn't happen, sis married bible thumper instead ) hag a TRS-80 . . .

Anyone remember "Zork", via modem??

Zork is the quintessential text game. There's no need to click your mouse, maneuver a joystick or mash a d-pad. All you need is the ability to read, type and think somewhat logically. The amusingly clever text adventure was developed on a PDP-10 mainframe at MIT in the late 1970s.

I have THE MAP ( just saw it the other day )

You are in an open field west of a big white house with a boarded
front door.
There is a small mailbox here.
