Basically, it is a MicroController Programming Service that offers affordable prices to constructors that have no means of programming popular Micros readily, or no interest in doing so. It caters for single and small quantities, and all quoted prices include world wide postage. All hex files are readily available on the Internet from the links provided, so there is no code protection used or required.

The main aim is to deliver the product world wide at a fixed price. The price is calculated on the initial cost of the device, programming, transaction costs, and Air Mail postage and handling.

This first project has been submitted by Michael Covington and uses a PIC16F84/04/P Microcontroller.

• Alcor - A Microcontroller Based Control Circuit for Conventional AC Telescope Drives. Many telescopes still use 50- or 60-Hz AC motors controlled by variable-frequency AC power sources. This paper describes a programmed microcontroller that can be used as the oscillating element in such drive controllers, providing efficient two-phase drive, smooth frequency changes, and precise sidereal and lunar rates.

Please Note **** The chip supplied will be a 20Mhz version, however it will operate as a 4Mhz version.
