As I mentioned before, one of the “highlights of my month”, is stealing my co-workers copy of Embedded Systems Design. I just located another article on the Embedded web site called “The basics of programming embedded processors”.
This is presented in 9 Parts, and I have not finished it yet, but the practical application should be of great value with programming the Vex Controller.
So (again) if you are interested, please read the article, The basics of programming embedded processors. There is Nine Parts.
