| Authors Needed! | The Encoder is actively seeking authors to help write the Encoder. The key to growing in this hobby is communicating your experiences to others. The Seattle Robotics Society Encoder is one of the premier resources for amateur robotics on the Internet. Each issue is read by thousands of people around the world. Please consider sharing ideas with us. Check out The Encoder Writers Guide for information about how you can help spread the excitement! | |
| Parallel Port Routines and Utilities | A few months ago, Dan Mauch gave me a ZIP file containing some mighty useful programs for dealing with parallel ports. Of course, this is the first issue since then, but if you remember, Dan had discussed that these were simple but effective, and would make a great learning tool. Teachers take note!
