I am thinking of ordering some of these. They are custom made to some
  extent.
  Price will be around $50 plus a small amount for mailing.

  With USB program connector on board.
  And a 80 Mhz PIC32MX460F512L.
  This is the full memory version of the PIC32.
  Program Memory Size 512KB.
  RAM 32KB.

  I expect it will look something like this with USB connector on board
  and the clock set to 80 Mhz?

  Can be programed in the language compiler of your choice. BASIC (2
  brands), Pascal, C
  or assembly language. Lots of accessories are available like graphic
  displays, PC2
  keyboards and GPS receivers. Source code and wiring information for these
  devices is
  free. The MikroBASIC is written to support these products. Henry and I
  will be
  working on an EFI version.

  If you are interested let me know in the next couple of days.

  I can send one to China for you Henry.

  The GPS receiver and display shown are extra cost.

  Do we need one processor per rotor, or is this a system host? Only one GPS
  necessary
  per installation, I assume.
  I'm in with the group, if details are fleshed out.

  Depends on the software. There are a lot of options. One per rotor. One
  per rotar
  and main device for display and data recording. One for two or three
  rotors. One per
  rotor would give a back up of sorts. We might be able to put them on a
  network. I
  know they support the Ethernet.

  There is plenty of power and storage in these things for a myriad of
  configurations.
  Many would say way overkill but I say they are cheap.

  The first one I write will be one per rotor to keep the software simple.

  In the mean time get some practice writing QB on your PC. QB was an IDE
  just like
  modern compilers. I know it runs on System 7. If you need it I can send
  it. We will
  share of course.

  Come to think of it I already have a moving map program I can easily port.
  The DOS display resolution is easily achieved by add on flat panel
  displays  for SC
  microcomputers.

 Put me in for 2, and let me know how much the display is.

 That one is about $100 as I recall. THere is a bunch out there. Some are
 touch
 screens. Supported by MikroBASIC BTW.

 Paul Lamar

I can feel the push toward basic. I learned basic in high school in 1984. I
guess a refresher is in order.
