Aiken County Registration and Elections held the first of two seminars on the new photo voter ID requirements on Thursday, which the office deemed a success.
"We had a lot of good questions," said Yolanda Dortch, Clerk III for the elections office. "We had a lot of the public come that did not understand clearly. I feel that once we went through it, they had a really good understanding, positive feedback and they feel like it's a good thing."
The new law, which went into effect Jan. 1, requires voters to show a photo ID at their polling place during elections. Voters will have five options in photo IDs: a S.C. driver's license, an ID card issued by the S.C. Department of Motor Vehicles, a voter registration card with a photo, federal military ID or a U.S. passport. The ID must be current and valid.
Under the old rules, voters had to show one of three forms of ID: a S.C. driver's license, a S.C. ID card issued by the state DMV, or a S.C. voter registration card.
"The purpose of this ID law is to confirm that the person who voted is that particular person," Dortch told the crowd of about 25 people. "We're putting a face with the name."
Dortch emphasized that if you already have one of the qualifying photo IDs, you're ready to vote.
"The state did some research," she said, adding that a majority of people already vote using their driver's license. "A lot of people, normally, that's what they use to vote because it's something that you have on you all the time."
There are three types of voter registration cards: the current paper card with no photo; a new plastic card with your photo; and a paper card with your photo, which will be given to you at the elections office until your plastic card arrives in the mail.
The new cards contain your name, county, registration number, registration date and your signature on the back. The cards do not expire and the photos do not have to be updated. They can be processed at the Registration and Elections Office at no cost.
Dortch also stressed that there will be no changes in the voter registration requirements.
In October, a federal court panel ruled in favor of the state's voter ID law, which had been hotly debated between lawmakers, politicos and community activists for months.
The judges declined to let the law take effect immediately; otherwise, it would have impacted the November general election.
"At first, the law was written so that you had to have your voter registration card and an ID," Dortch said. "That's when it went to the Department of Justice, they rewrote it and made it more convenient and easier across the board."
If a person does not have a photo ID on election day due to a "reasonable impediment" of obtaining one, they may vote a provisional ballot after showing a non-photo voter registration card and signing an affidavit attesting to the voter's identity and impediment.
According to the state attorney general, a reasonable impediment is "any valid reason, beyond the voter's control, which created an obstacle to the voter obtaining the necessary photo ID in order to vote."
Examples of reasonable impediments include religious objection to being photographed, lack of transportation, disability or illness, lack of birth certificate, work schedule and family responsibilities.
A voter may claim any obstacle they find reasonable, as long as it is true.
Also, the voter determines what is reasonable – poll managers and other election officials do not determine the reasonableness of the claimed impediment.
"That voter signed that affidavit – that's taking their word," Dortch said.
The ballot will count unless the county election commission has grounds to believe the affidavit is false. The commission would have to prove that the voter either lied about their identity or lied about having a reasonable impediment.
"The only way your ballot will not count is if the election commission has proof that that person lied," said Cynthia Holland, executive director of Aiken County Registration and Elections.
If you don't have a reasonable impediment and don't have a qualifying ID, you can still vote a provisional ballot at the polls; however, for the vote to count, you must provide one of the qualifying IDs to the county election commission before the certification of the election, which is usually the Thursday or Friday after the election.
Richard Johnson Jr., of Aiken, came to the seminar on Thursday and said it was beneficial.
"I was totally against it because of the things that were required to get the picture ID," he said. "That was confusing and cumbersome and made it more difficult to obtain picture IDs."
Johnson went to the elections office and got his new voter registration card.
"I didn't have to have this because I have a driver's license," he said, holding his new temporary card. "I wanted to go through the process so that I would fully understand and would be able to educate others about the process. All you have to do is go down to the voter registration office, get your picture made and go on about your business."
Dortch said education about the process is key.
The Registration and Elections Office will have another seminar at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Aiken Electric Cooperative, 2790 Wagener Road. Other seminars will be scheduled later on.
Anyone seeking more information about the new law can visit the Registration and Elections Office at 916 Vaucluse Road or call the office at 642-2028.

This is one of the postcards I bought last weekend at Shoreham and is one of the best views of West Dean Church that I have seen.
In fact I don't think I have seen a postcard from this angle before, roughly speaking the photo was taken from the garden of the vicarage looking south towards St. Andrew's Church, above the roof of the church can be seen the roof and chimneys of West Dean House. Beyond that I think the hill on the left is probably Singletonhill Plantation, but I am not sure.
I love the fact that the photographer has captured the detail in the garden as well, with lots of fruit trees and what looks like a rose arch pointing towards the church tower. The gateway to the church is hidden behind the tall plant(s) in the centre, but the path can clearly be seen leading down the side of the garden and along the back wall.
I still don't know who the publisher/photographer was, despite now having several from the same publisher/photographer. This particular card was not sent through the post, but it does have a message written on the back in pencil "The Church at West Dean we attended on Sunday [Cheerie] Chums August Camp 10th – 17th 1929". The word Cheerie is not very clear but it is the only thing can I think it says, I wonder who they were and where they came from?

DENVER � The day drug-legalization activists have been waiting for arrived Monday, when Gov. John Hickenlooper certified the vote on Amendment 64 and officially legalized marijuana use by adults.
Hickenlooper also set up a task force to figure out how to regulate marijuana � everything from licensing stores to safety standards for people who bake and sell pot brownies.
�Our voters very clearly said they thought this was a step forward. I think our job now is to make sure that we do the best we can to respect the will of those voters and to make that step forward as thoughtful and as constructive as we possibly can,� Hickenlooper said.
Amendment 64 passed with 55 percent of the vote in the November election.
Its sponsor supported Hickenlooper�s move to create a task force to figure out what to do next.
�This is truly a historic day,� said Mason Tvert, sponsor of Amendment 64. �This is new. And with any major policy shift like this, there are going to be major questions that need to be answered.�
Hickenlooper opposed Amendment 64, but he said the debate is over, and now it�s time to figure out how to implement the law.
�If the voters go out and pass something and they put it into the state constitution by a significant margin, far be it from myself or any governor to overrule. That�s why it�s a democracy,� Hickenlooper said.
However, marijuana remains illegal under federal law � something that Colorado�s top federal prosecutor pointed out.
�The (Department (of Justice�s) responsibility to enforce the Controlled Substances Act remains unchanged. Neither states nor the executive branch can nullify a statute passed by Congress,� U.S. Attorney John Walsh said in a prepared statement.
But Tvert said Monday�s action matters because almost all marijuana-possession crimes are prosecuted in state and local courts.
Amendment 64 removed Colorado�s legal penalties for adults age 21 and older for possessing marijuana and using it in private. It�s still forbidden to use the drug in public, to possess large amounts of it and to help underage people use it.
The amendment also calls on the Legislature to pass a set of laws to regulate marijuana similar to the way alcohol is regulated. Marijuana could be sold in special stores that are similar to medical marijuana dispensaries, but local governments could ban the stores from their jurisdictions.
Colorado and federal officials have been talking about how the federal government will react to legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington state. But the Department of Justice has not told Hickenlooper when it will make a decision.
�What we want is clarity. Either the federal government is going to step up and intervene legally, or they�re going to change the Controlled Substances Act in some way,� Hickenlooper said.
But he said he thinks federal law enforcers are being as diligent as they can as they react to the vote.
The governor said he�s most concerned about how legalization will affect young people. Although underage people use both alcohol and marijuana, their use of alcohol � which is legal for adults � is 50 percent higher than pot use.
Hickenlooper has a �serious sense of urgency� about the task force, because Amendment 64 requires regulations to be in place by July 1. The Legislature meets Jan. 9 to May 8, and it will have to approve or reject the task force�s recommendations.
The 24-member task force includes legislators and members of Hickenlooper�s cabinet, legal experts, marijuana activists and a doctor who specializes in treating addiction.
The group�s first meeting will be Monday, and Hickenlooper wants it to finish its work no later than Feb. 28.

How is the Aiken area's real estate market doing? Is it still struggling in the wake of the Great Recession or is it starting to recover and regain momentum?
Jack Wills, who recently moved here from Michigan, offered some thoughts recently. He and his wife, Lynne, are renting a house while getting ready to build a new 6,000- to 5,000-square-foot Dutch Colonial home next to a green on the historic Aiken Golf Club.
The Aiken real estate market "is a lot like it is in the rest of the country; it seems to be improving," Wills said. "But I don't think it's really moving along at a fast pace by any stretch of the imagination."
Wills, 60, retired from an executive position with the Masco Corporation in the building products industry seven years ago, but stays busy serving on four boards. He and Lynne recently sold their Michigan house, but they still own a lot in Aiken's Cedar Creek community where they decided not to build. It has been on the market for about three years.
"I don't think the real estate values are as depressed in Aiken as they are, perhaps, in other parts of the country because of the desirability of the town," Wills said. "There are lots of good golf courses, and you don't have to put your winter coat on to walk your dog in January."
"But I don't think the real estate values here have appreciated much either," Wills said.
Economic conditions elsewhere are preventing local real estate values from enjoying a significant surge in growth, according to Wills.
"The people Aiken is most likely to appeal to are the ones in the North who are retiring and looking to move to a warmer place," he said. "But they are unable to sell their homes up there because of the recession, and that has reduced the number of buyers in Aiken."
The Aiken Board of Realtors recently released a report of monthly indicators for March showing that new listings in the area increased 1.5 percent from last year to 276. Pending sales were up 10.4 percent to 148.
The median sale price for a home decreased less than 1 percent to $141,000. Days on the market fell 10 percent to 197.
"Right now, the houses under $200,000 are moving fairly decently and that's a good sign," said Kristyne Shelton, association executive for the Board of Realtors. "It wasn't that way a year or two ago. Sometimes the houses under $150,000 move the fastest and in a really poor market; the $100,000 to $125,000 and under range moves the fastest."
Shelton also reported that Realtors she has spoken with are "busier than I've seen them in the last couple of years with both buyers and sellers."
Diane Miniard of Meybohm Realtors said she is "cautiously optimistic" about the Aiken area real estate market. She sold two homes, one for more than $200,000 and the other for more than $300,000, the final weekend in April.
"The market is better than it's been in three years," said Miniard, who is the Board of Realtors' president. "But I just haven't seen enough consistency to be convinced that there has been a complete turnaround yet. Mortgage rates are still low, so you would think we would be extremely busy, but we're not. It's still considered more of a buyers' market than it is a sellers' market right now."
Mike Hosang of the Carolina Real Estate Company reported seeing "a good bit of traffic from buyers and sellers" in an Aiken market he believes is "improving slightly." One positive development, he said, is that bankers seem to be "a little more flexible" in their lending practices.
Buyers returning to the real estate market tend to be cautious, according to Hosang.
"At one time, during the peak, people were coming to Aiken and making commitments over the weekend or in three days," Hosang said. "Now out-of-town folks are taking months or years to make a decision. People who are second homebuyers are stepping down a little bit in price range. Everybody is shopping aggressively for what is a real value in their minds."
To Jack Oldham, who moved here from Southern California's Orange County last August with his wife Melanie, real estate values in this area are "terrific." The couple purchased a three-bedroom brick colonial home of about 3,100 square feet on a nearly 12 -acre site.
Jack is a retired CPA and Melanie is a semi-retired CPA and attorney.
"I think we got a great deal," Jack Oldham said. "We had a similar-sized house in California on a little over a quarter acre of land and this house was half the price of that house. It was a bargain, very much so."

Ideas to curb violence
In wake of the recent tragedies across the country I am 100 percent behind those that say we must act; and we must act now to save our children. In light of that, I am suggesting that serious consideration should be given to the following initiatives:
• Immediately ban the sale and possession of all alcohol. There is absolutely no benefit to society and thousands of children are negatively impacted by directly ingesting alcohol or by those who have ingested it.
• Immediately ban the sale and possession of all tobacco products (see above).
• Immediately ban the sale of fast food products to anyone under the age of 21. We must leverage the available technology to ensure the person buying that fast food is the person that actually eats it. Impose a 5 cent per french fry tax to pay for the technology.
• Stop the production and sale of any vehicle that is capable of going faster than 50 mph. No one needs a car that goes faster than 50 mph. Within the next three months, ensure that every existing vehicle in the country has a limiter installed to ensure that it can't.
• Conduct universal background checks on any individual who is cashing a lottery ticket to ensure that they do not owe taxes, child support or alimony prior to paying out the prize.
• Ban the sale of any R-rated movies, M-rated video games and other violent media to anyone under the age of 21. Establish a national database of these materials to ensure that the person that purchases the items legally does not give them to another person that can't legally purchase them.
Even if these actions result in saving just one life, they are surely worth it – aren't they?

A recent morning news program featured an interview with a Louisiana parent who was upset about a school assignment. The parent described a question given to her fourth grade daughter dealing with a rap song called, "Po Pimp." The teacher and the school wrongly placed blame for the inappropriate question on the Common Core state standards. The interviewer expressed outrage and used the incident to criticize Common Core and characterize it as some kind of big government scheme.
This is an example of the kind of misconceptions some people have about Common Core. There are a myriad of websites and companies who claim to have products aligned to Common Core. That teacher in Louisiana may have gotten her "Po Pimp" question from such a site, but ultimately, it is the responsibility of the teacher and the school to use professional judgment in choosing materials. They made a poor choice, blamed it on the new standards, and Common Core opponents jumped on the opportunity to fan the flames.
The concern by members of the public is understandable. People are usually uncomfortable when confronted with something new. But, how new is Common Core? While the expectations for students' performance are greater, Common Core state standards are essentially what standards have always been – a framework of what students should know and be able to do. One important difference is that Common Core does actually represent the true meaning of the word "standard." Since states collaborated in the development of the standards, the expectations for a student in South Carolina are the same as the expectations for a student in California and 43 other states. That uniformity is critical since accountability measures have been used for years to compare educational quality among the states.
Another important difference is that Common Core has narrowed the number of standards, but increased the levels of complexity and depth at which our students are expected to show mastery. Most states, including South Carolina, were comfortable using standards that often addressed primarily surface-level learning. This shift in rigor is critical in preparing our students for college and careers in the 21st century.
While it is true that a higher percentage of reading and writing will be informational and technical in nature, some critics wrongly believe that classic literature is excluded from the Common Core. Students will continue to read drama by Shakespeare and Tennessee Williams, novels by Mark Twain and Ernest Hemmingway, poetry by Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost, and short stories by James Baldwin and Langston Hughes. Informational text will include great historical documents such as the Constitution and Bill of Rights, Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address," Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" and Martin Luther King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail." Our teachers understand the importance of striking the right balance in the use of informational and narrative text to support the development of 21st century literate citizens.
In mathematics, we will continue to teach our students the critical components of a strong math curriculum including: operations and algebraic thinking, fractions, measurement, data analysis and geometry. The difference rests in Common Core's focus on developing conceptual understanding of mathematical ideas. The careers we are preparing our students for require them to be adept at problem solving, constructing viable arguments, and defending their ideas with sound reasoning. With these shifts in mathematical understanding comes the development of analytical and critical thinking that will enable students to compete globally.
Finally, Common Core is not a national curriculum. It is a list of accepted common expectations for students. Aiken County's teachers have been preparing for this transition since the Common Core state standards were adopted by South Carolina in 2010. We have enlisted teams of teachers, collaborated with USC Aiken and Aiken Technical College, and cooperated with the South Carolina Department of Education to develop a research-based, rigor-infused curriculum to meet the needs of all of our students. Local educators, not big government bureaucrats, determined our priorities, developed the sequence of instruction and created tools for teachers to use in the classroom.
Our teachers and administrators will continue, as they always have, to make instructional choices that are in the best interests of our students while leading them towards college and career readiness.
King Laurence is the associate superintendent for instruction and accountability for the Aiken County School District.

In the diary of Percy Ebenezer Trower that I mentioned yesterday are frequent references to "Ern and Doll Nye". Apart from being good friends I had no idea who they were or whether they were related although I suspected they might be related to Percy's wife Kate Standing.
Ern and Doll also appeared in some of the photos that I had which had originally come from Percy's collection, so I thought it would be good idea to try to identify them properly.
It was highly likely that Ern and Doll were nicknames, my thinking was that they were probably Ernest and Dorothy Nye, but I couldn't find a suitable marriage for that combination.
Fortunately last night I came across an entry in the diary for the silver wedding anniversary of Ern and Doll in April 1951. Even armed with that fact it took a while to find the marriage in the GRO indexes.
It looks very likely that Ern was actually Henry Ernest Nye and Doll was in fact Emily Standing (more than likely Percy's sister-in-law). They were married in Q2 1926 in Cuckfield Registration District.
I will need to check the actual marriage entry to make sure that Emily was Kate's sister but I was able to match the death of Henry Ernest Nye in the GRO indexes with the death of Ern in Percy's diary, so it seems a likely match.
This morning I decided to try to find out a few details for Henry Ernest Nye. He was born in 1902 so the obvious place to look was the 1911 census. Henry Ernest was living in Ansty, Sussex the son of Ernest and Anne Nye. The address they were living at in 1911 was Diamond Jubilee Cottages.
Presumably these cottages had been built around the time of the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897. How strange that I should have turned up this record during the diamond jubilee of our present Queen!

You will notice that sun and shade patterns change during the day. The western side of a house may even be shady due to shadows cast by large trees or a structure from an adjacent property. If you have just bought a new home or just beginning to garden in your older home, take time to map sun and shade throughout the day. You will get a more accurate feel for your site's true light conditions. Conditions : Full to Partial Sun Full sunlight is needed for many plants to assume their full potential. Many of these plants will do fine with a little less sunlight, although they may not flower as heavily or their foliage as vibrant. Areas on the southern and western sides of buildings usually are the sunniest. The only exception is when houses or buildings are so close together, shadows are cast from neighboring properties. Full sun usually means 6 or more hours of direct unobstructed sunlight on a sunny day. Partial sun receives less than 6 hours of sun, but more than 3 hours. Plants able to take full sun in some climates may only be able to tolerate part sun in other climates. Know the culture of the plant before you buy and plant it! Conditions : Light and Plant Selection For best plant performance, it is desirable to match the correct plant with the available light conditions. Right plant, right place! Plants which do not receive sufficient light may become pale in color, have fewer leaves and a "leggy" stretched-out appearance. Also expect plants to grow slower and have fewer blooms when light is less than desirable. It is possible to provide supplemental lighting for indoor plants with lamps. Plants can also receive too much light. If a shade loving plant is exposed to direct sun, it may wilt and/or cause leaves to be sunburned or otherwise damaged.
If the problem is only on the surface, it maybe diverted to a drainage ditch. If drainage is poor where water table is high, install an underground drainage system. You should contact a contractor for this. If underground drains already exist, check to see if they are blocked.
French drains are another option. French drains are ditches that have been filled with gravel. It is okay to plant sod on top of them. More obtrusive, but a good solution where looks aren't as important, think of the French drain as a ditch filled with gravel. Ditches should be 3 to 4 feet deep and have sloping sides.
A soakway is a gravel filled pit where water is diverted to via underground pipes. This works well on sites that have compacted soil. Your soakway should be about 6'wide and deep and filled with gravel or crushed stone, topped with sand and sodded or seeded.
Keep in mind that it is illegal to divert water onto other people's property. If you do not feel that you can implement a workable solution on your own, call a contractor. Tools : Watering Aides No gardener depends 100% on natural rainfall. Even the most water conscious
garden appreciates the proper hose, watering can or wand.
* The key to watering is water deeply and less frequently. When watering, water
well, i.e. provide enough water to thoroughly saturate the root ball. With
in-ground plants, this means thoroughly soaking the soil until water has
penetrated to a depth of 6 to 7 inches (1' being better). With container grown plants, apply enough water to allow water to flow through the drainage holes.
* Try to water plants early in the day or later in the afternoon to conserve
water and cut down on plant stress. Do water early enough so that water has
had a chance to dry from plant leaves prior to night fall. This is paramount
if you have had fungus problems.
* Don't wait to water until plants wilt. Although some plants will recover from this,
all plants will die if they wilt too much (when they reach the permanent
wilting point).
* Consider water conservation methods such as drip irrigation, mulching, and
xeriscaping. Drip systems which slowly drip moisture directly on the root
system can be purchased at your local home and garden center. Mulches can significantly cool the root zone
and conserve moisture.
* Consider adding water-saving gels to the root zone which will hold a reserve
of water for the plant. These can make a world of difference especially under
stressful conditions. Be certain to follow label directions for their use.
Conditions : Normal Watering for Outdoor Plants Normal watering means that soil should be kept evenly moist and watered regularly, as conditions require. Most plants like 1 inch of water a week during the growing season, but take care not to over water. The first two years after a plant is installed, regular watering is important for establishment. The first year is critical. It is better to water once a week and water deeply, than to water frequently for a few minutes.
How-to : Reduce Watering This plant requires less watering during winter months, so reduce watering from late November through early March.
As perennials establish, it is important to prune them back and thin them out occasionally. This will prevent them from completely taking over an area to the exclusion of other plants, and also will increase air circulation thereby reducing the incidence of diseases like botrytis and powdery mildew.
Many species also flower abundantly and produce ample seed. As blooms fade it is advisable to deadhead your plant; that is, to remove spent flowers before they form seed. This will prevent your plants from seeding all over the garden and will conserve the considerable energy it takes the plant to produce seed.
As perennials mature, they may form a dense root mass that eventually leads to a less vigorous plant. It is advisable to occasionally thin out a stand of such perennials. By dividing the root system, you can make new plants to plant in another area of the garden or give away. Also root pruning will stimulate new growth and rejuvenate the plant. Most perennials may be successfully divided in either spring or fall. Do a little homework; some perennials do have a preference. How-to : Planting Perennials Determine appropriate perennials for your garden by considering sun and shade through the day, exposure, water requirements, climate, soil makeup, seasonal color desired, and position of other garden plants and trees.
The best times to plant are spring and fall, when soil is workable and out of danger of frost. Fall plantings have the advantage that roots can develop and not have to compete with developing top growth as in the spring. Spring is more desirable for perennials that dislike wet conditions or for colder areas, allowing full establishment before first winter. Planting in summer or winter is not advisable for most plants, unless planting a more established sized plant.
To plant container-grown plants: Prepare planting holes with appropriate depth and space between. Water the plant thoroughly and let the excess water drain before carefully removing from the container. Carefully loosen the root ball and place the plant in the hole, working soil around the roots as you fill. If the plant is extremely root bound, separate roots with fingers. A few slits made with a pocket knife are okay, but should be kept to a minimum. Continue filling in soil and water thoroughly, protecting from direct sun until stable.
To plant bare-root plants: Plant as soon as possible after purchase. Prepare suitable planting holes, spread roots and work soil among roots as you fill in. Water well and protect from direct sun until stable.
To plant seedlings: A number of perennials produce self-sown seedlings that can be transplanted. You may also start your own seedling bed for transplanting. Prepare suitable planting holes, spacing appropriately for plant development. Gently lift the seedling and as much surrounding soil as possible with your garden trowel, and replant it immediately, firming soil with fingertips and water well. Shade from direct sun and water regularly until stable.
Prevention and Control: Plant resistant varieties and provide maximum air circulation. Clean up all debris, especially around plants that have had a problem. Do not water from overhead and water only during the day so that plants will have enough time to dry before night. Apply a fungicide labeled for rust on your plant. Fungi : Powdery Mildew Powdery Mildew is usually found on plants that do not have enough air circulation or adequate light. Problems are worse where nights are cool and days are warm and humid. The powdery white or gray fungus is usually found on the upper surface of leaves or fruit. Leaves will often turn yellow or brown, curl up, and drop off. New foliage emerges crinkled and distorted. Fruit will be dwarfed and often drops early.
Prevention and Control: Plant resistant varieties and space plants properly so they receive adequate light and air circulation. Always water from below, keeping water off the foliage. This is paramount for roses. Go easy on the nitrogen fertilizer. Apply fungicides according to label directions before problem becomes severe and follow directions exactly, not missing any required treatments. Sanitation is a must - clean up and remove all leaves, flowers, or debris in the fall and destroy. Fungi : Leaf Spots Leaf spots are caused by fungi or bacteria. Brown or black spots and patches may be either ragged or circular, with a water soaked or yellow-edged appearance. Insects, rain, dirty garden tools, or even people can help its spread.
Prevention and Control: Remove infected leaves when the plant is dry. Leaves that collect around the base of the plant should be raked up and disposed of. Avoid overhead irrigation if possible; water should be directed at soil level. For fungal leaf spots, use a recommended fungicide according to label directions.
You will often
hear loam referred to as a sandy loam (having more sand, yet still plenty of
organic matter) or a clay loam (heavier on the clay, yet workable with good
drainage.) The addition of organic matter to either sand or clay will result
in a loamy soil. Still not sure if your soil is a sand, clay, or loam? Try
this simple test. Squeeze a handfull of slightly moist, not wet, soil in your
hand. If it forms a tight ball and does not fall apart when gently tapped
with a finger, your soil is more than likely clay. If soil does not form a
ball or crumbles before it is tapped, it is sand to very sandy loam. If soil forms a
ball, then crumbles readily when lightly tapped, it's a loam. Several quick, light
taps could mean a clay loam. Glossary : Tolerant Tolerant refers to a plant's ability to tolerate exposure to an external condition(s). It does not mean that the plant thrives or prefers this situation, but is able to adapt and continue its life cycle.

FRISCO � Summit County emergency dispatchers say it sometimes takes longer to get help to people who rely on GPS-equipped smartphones because they don�t know exactly where they are.
The Summit Daily News reported Sunday that some people who call 911 can�t give their precise location even in towns or on major highways.
�In a lot of cases, people really don�t have any idea where they are,� said Bill Pessemier, director of communications for the county.
�If we don�t have that address, it can cause a delay in time, maybe a minute or two or three,� he said.
GPS is not as accurate as many people think, he said. GPS-enabled phones can find a caller�s location to within about 90 to 110 yards, he said.
�That�s good for the backcountry, but in the town, with condos and businesses, it�s not as helpful,� said Lisa Hans, a supervisor with the county communications department.
Hans said it�s particularly hard to pinpoint the location of someone who calls 911 from Interstate 70 in Summit County. Callers can sometimes say only that they�re west of Denver or tell dispatchers where they�re headed, she said.
Callers might say something such as, ��Yeah, we just left Denver; we�re on our way to California,�� Hans said.
�We try to narrow it down. Eastbound or westbound? Did you come through a tunnel? Did you pass any towns? We�re going through this process of elimination, and that takes time,� she said.
Hans and Pessemier are asking local governments, the lodging industry and ski resorts to cooperate on an education campaign to encourage visitors to be aware of their location in more detail.
Pessemier said he doesn�t yet have specifics or cost estimates for the plan but wants to get discussions started.
One idea is to improve address signage in populated areas.
�If you walk up and down Main Street in Breckenridge or in Frisco, you�d be hard-pressed to find addresses,� he said.
Pessemier said the campaign could take at least six months to launch. He hopes to have something in place for summer.

You never know what you are going to find when you start delving into newspapers. The article below, from the Hampshire Advertiser of Saturday 23rd March 1889, has to one of the most bizarre that I have come across in my searches.
A PROVIDENT WIFE.-A man named Henry Wright, formerly a chimney sweeper at Alton, has made a fortunate discovery. His wife died a few days ago, and preparatory to selling his furniture to a local dealer he inspected an old chest of drawers, when, to his surprise, he discovered, concealed behind a piece of board let into one of the drawers, two purses, one of which contained £200, and the other £60 in gold. At one time Wright kept a lodging-house, and it is supposed that his wife accumulated the money then.
Henry Wright and his "provident" wife were my 3x great-grandparents, all the facts fit with what I know. He was at one time a lodging-house keeper and later on a chimney sweep and his wife Sarah died in Alton in 1889.
Quite why Sarah should have felt the need to hide £260 from Henry is a mystery, unless she was frightened he would drink or gamble it all away. Perhaps the rainy day that she was waiting for never arrived?
I can see that it might have been hidden for safe-keeping (perhaps a distrust of banks), but could you really forget that you had put away that sort of money? Based the retail price index £260 in 1889 would be worth £22,400 today, not the sort of money that would be easy to forget.

Riley Cooper, how dumb people learn, and racism in the NFL
It's a good thing for Kerry Collins that Twitter wasn't around in the late 1990s. The 17-year NFL veteran was the first player selected in the history of the Carolina Panthers franchise, but he's perhaps best known for something that happened off the field. In 1997, at a party held to celebrate the end of training camp, Collins directed a racial epithet at second-year receiver Mushin Muhammad. Mike Freeman, now of CBS Sports and then of the New York Times, wrote that Collins had the kind of relationship with some of his black teammates where some of those teammates were not offended by whatever word was used (you can certainly figure it out). But Muhammad was not one of those teammates. A fight nearly broke out, and that story followed Collins through the rest of his career. He threw for over 40,000 yards and appeared in Super Bowl XXXV with the New York Giants, but some will only remember Collins as the guy who called his teammate an unacceptable word.
In the end, that's the best possible outcome.
Seahawks camp report: Stephen Williams could solve some of Pete Carroll's sudden receiver needs
RENTON, Wash. – The news was not good for the Seattle Seahawks' hypothetical receiver corps on Tuesday. On the same day that head coach Pete Carroll told the media that number-one target Sidney Rice was in Switzerland undergoing "some sort of knee treatment," fellow number-one target Percy Harvin announced via Twitter that he will require hip surgery. Rice's timeline is unknown, though Carroll said he thought Rice would not miss any games, but Harvin will be out for 3-4 months at the very least, according to initial reports.
Derek Anderson, the team's primary starting quarterback in the first post-Kurt Warner year, said that he'd never worked with a rookie receiver who looked better, and uber-receiver Larry Fitzgerald actually insisted that in time, Williams could replace him as the team's top man. Fitzgerald is famously kind to his young battery mates, but you've never heard him say that about Michael Floyd or Andre Roberts.
Packers rookie RB Eddie Lacy might have put on a few pounds in the offseason
The Green Bay Packers were tired of their inconsistent running game over the last few seasons, so they looked to do something about it with authority in the 2013 NFL draft. General manager Ted Thompson and his staff selected Alabama running back Eddie Lacy in the second round, and went back to the well in the fourth by picking UCLA speedster Johnathan Franklin. Lacy was known to be a power back more than anything for the Crimson Tide – while he did have some second-level speed, his primary attribute was his ability to bull through at the line and gain those tough yards.
Judging from his first preseason in the NFL, and a picture making the rounds on the Internet (Lacy was trending on Twitter on Monday evening as a result), it looked like Lacy had been bulling through some of his teammates at the training table.
The storm started when David Woods (@davidpwoods on Twitter) posted the picture above, of Lacy apparently at an offseason OTA weeks ago on the left, and a Packers.com picture on the right.

Shutdown Countdown: Texans add to air attack, hope a deep playoff run is the result
With all the talk about today's NFL being a game in which quarterbacks rule the day and everything else runs one step behind, the Houston Texans have built a consistently winning team with a decidedly old-school archetype. Their best player in 2012 was a defensive lineman (J.J. Watt), their primary receiver is an under-the-radar superstar, their quarterback stands a bit above average, and the real fulcrum of the team lies in a power-based, zone running game. They had the NFL's fewest shotgun plays in 2012, and ran more than most teams when they were behind, even late in games,when they were behind – 34 percent of all such plays in the second half, to be specific.
Something is going to have to pop for the Texans to take the next step, and most think that the pressure is most on quarterback Matt Schaub. Schaub's problem is not that he's a bad quarterback; rather, the issue seems to be his inability to rise to that nebulous "elite" level, and he's going to hear a lot about that this season. Matter of fact, he's already heard a lot about it.
The Shutdown Corner Interview: Dorsey Levens
The transition from professional football the life after the game can be difficult for many players, and none more so that those who face an uncertain future with the aftereffects of head injuries suffered during their time between the lines. Former NFL running back Dorsey Levens has combined two concerns to try and so some good. Levens, who played in the NFL from 1994 through 2004 with the Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles, and New York Giants, has become very involved in film and theater over the last few years. He's now working on a documentary called "Bell Rung," about the post-football concussion effects athletes must endure. To extend the movie from 48 minutes to the projected final length of 90 minutes, Levens has turned to the increasingly popular method of crowd-funding.
When we recently spoke with him, Levens had a lot to say about his film, and the ways in which the NFL deals with (and has dealt with) concussions.
Shutdown Corner: How did you get involved in crowd-funding?
The Shutdown Countdown: Cincinnati Bengals look strong, but the time is now for Andy Dalton
It's been an up-and-down decade for Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis, who has had as many four-win seasons as 10-win seasons (two each) in the last half-decade. The formerly cheapskate franchise recently made a new commitment to scouting and assistant coach retention, which has allowed Lewis' guys to draft more sensibly and develop players with better clarity. As a result, the Bengals are loaded with talent on both sides of the ball. They've been in the playoffs each of the last two seasons, but have been eliminated decisively each time by the Houston Texans in the first round.
In those two games, second-year quarterback Andy Dalton's stats: 41 completions in 72 attempts for 384 yards, no touchdowns, and four interceptions. Dalton looked overwhelmed in both games, and in one consistent fashion – though he can handle a game at the NFL level, he's not a consistently great thrower under pressure, he will fire errantly at times, and his deep ball leaves a lot to be desired.
ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski recently outlined some of Dalton's attributes and liabilities in his "QB Countdown" (produced by our good friend Greg Cosell), and it's a fair assessment.
Seahawks camp report: Percy Harvin's injury could be Golden Tate's opportunity
RENTON, Wash. -- When the Seattle Seahawks traded their 2013 first-round pick and two other picks to the Minnesota Vikings for the services of receiver Percy Harvin, and then signed Harvin to a six-year, $67 million contract with $25 million guaranteed in March, it was thought that the Florida alum would add a matchup nightmare from multiple positions that few defenses could deal with. Given Seattle's stocked status in the running game, at the quarterback position, and in their receiver corps, the move didn't make sense unless you understood that Harvin can line up all over the formation, presenting pass coverages with options that would always be wrong. Harvin was playing at an MVP level early in the 2012 season for the Vikings, but he suffered a ligament tear in his ankle, and missed the second half of Minnesota's campaign. Harvin has played all 16 games in a regular season just once since the Vikings selected him with the 22nd overall pick in the 2009 NFL draft, and that issue may have come home to roost for Harvin's new team.
So, the obvious follow-up question was, if the need arises, is Tate ready to take Harvin's place as that multi-position weapon?
Encore demands: For Joe Flacco, the pressure's on like never before
Coming into his sixth NFL season, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is a Super Bowl MVP, the man behind one of the greatest sustained postseason passing performances in NFL history, and the proud owner of a six-year, $120.6 million contract. signed on March 1, which includes $52 million guaranteed, and a $29 million signing bonus. That's a lot to handle for a guy who finished 17th overall in Football Outsiders season-cumulative metrics and sixteenth in per-play efficiency in 2012, but those aren't the stats that matter.
It was the first time in Flacco's career that the fully-developed version of the quarterback was matched by a truly diverse and modern offense, and the late run convinced the Ravens that he was worth the kind of scratch given to the best at his position. Now, with Ray Lewis and Ed Reed gone, and the emphasis put on the offense (specifically the passing offense) more than at any other time in the franchise's history, it's all on Flacco to remain at that mythical "next level."
It's a good thing he does, because like never before, it will be on Flacco to make that happen.
The Shutdown Countdown: Chicago Bears look to solve old problems with new math
It was probably the oddest firing of an NFL head coach since A.J. Smith canned Marty Schottenheimer after Martyball led the San Diego Chargers to a 14-2 record in the 2006 season. When the Chicago Bears let Lovie Smith go on New Year's Day, the franchise had just finished a 10-6 season, and hadn't had a losing season under Smith since the 2009 campaign. Add in the fact that Smith is a defensive coach at heart, and his defenses were always great in Chicago, and the move seemed even stranger. But second-year general manager Phil Emery had a different way he wanted to go. Emery is well-acquainted with the new analytics and metrics, and he's known as a guy not afraid to think outside the box. So, as opposed to some head-coaching retread or promising young assistant, he hired longtime quarterback guru and recent CFL legend Marc Trestman to replace Smith.
Veteran linebacker Shaun Phillips could be crucial for Denver's pass-rushing potential
The true value of a pass rusher comes not just in his sacks, but also in his ability to pressure quarterbacks in all sorts of ways. Hits and hurries, tabulated by formal and informal game-charting services, can be just as important when discussing the greatest quarterback terrorizers. And if Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller loses his appeal and is served with a four-game suspension to begin the season, no team will be more cognizant of this fact those Broncos. Between Miller and defensive end Elvis Dumervil, who was lost to the team in a free-agency fax fiasco in May, Denver would go into their opener against the Baltimore Ravens without 24 quarterback hits and 64 quarterback hurries from the 2012 campaign. That's how many hits and hurries Miller and Dumervil amassed together.
When the Broncos signed Phillips, they saw him as a Miller backup, which certainly seems prescient.

As we come to the end of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations I would like to share an entry from the diary of my 2x great-uncle Percy Ebenezer Trower.
Sunday June 7th 1953
The first week our holiday over, (which included Coronation Day) cold winds all the week but not much rain.
Went to Hastings & Chilgrove Mon afternoon 2.15 till 8.15, a pretty ride & generally bright, had tea at Petersfield.
Tuesday was Coronation Day & a dull & windy day too & wet at times especially in London. We saw it on Dolls television at H[aywards] Heath, came through very well.
This is a perfect example of what makes Percy's diary so interesting, it includes comments on news and events as well as personal and family events and even what the weather was like.

kits are very useful quick start up or spike out an idea
Yes about 8
thank you
Very good presentation!
Thank you Jon!
I wish to some companies to provide an extended support for their SW all the time instead of 30 or 60 evaluation days
In my experience, dev kits are great to explore and exercise abilities of certain devices and the technical support is usually good.
I had worked with development kits from Microchip, SilLabs, Xilinx
Hello from Oregon to archive studying
Thank you for this info. I'm just starting out down the embedded path and have lots of great practical use ideas, but I'm having trouble finding the best path for my investment in debugging and test hardware.
Very Interesting Thanks
Looking forward to today
Audio cut out briefly
Ready to go
A bit late
Trying to catchup - yes I have used development kits in the past.
Thanks Jon. Session was very Informative
Thanks, Jon, for today's informative lecture. I look forward to tomorrow.
I can usually work independently with dev kits.
Then, classes starting July 23 are on the fuindamentals of electronics. That's a series that's a "must attend" even if you consider yourself somewhat of an expert.
The first classes of the new semester, on July 9, are on wireless testing.
Semester 1 ends this week. Semester 2 starts in July.
yes I have used them
Semester 2 closes at the end of this week. A new semester begins in July.
Sorry, I missed today...dentist appointment
Hi Rob, I am just checking on the Semester 2 info. How long will this be. thanks.
Thank you!!
Thanks Rob and Jon. See you all tomorrow.
Thanks everyone for your comments, questions, and answers to our queries. See you all tomorrow.
Yep, I'm still here. Though we're winding up now.
Hi Rob..are you still there?
I'll take a short lunch break and come back to answer more questions. --Jon
Thank you Rob and everyone else. I will e-see you tomorrow!
Thank you Jon thank you for one more week of wisdom.
yes very helpful
Yes, the kids have been very useful for getting work done.
I agree. When they turn 10 or 11, they can start to mow the lawn and do more chores around the house. ;-)
Luizcosta asked: is there anyone who used this board to boot Linux, XINU or other OSs?
Aykc88 asked: How can this dev kit evolve into any practical applicaitons?
Does Appbuilder come with the kit or is it Xtra?
As best I can recall, you can download the AppBuilder directly from SiLabs. No software comes "with the kit" in the sense that it does not include a CD-ROM. You download everything for FREE.
SumedhaHewa asked: What is the avg pricing for this micro?
I don't know of anyone who has used this board or a Precision32 MCU to boot Linux or another OS. Perhaps a Google search would turn up some helpful info.
As to low-power operating modes... Check out information on the Silicon Labs web site. There you can find the details about low-power modes and power use.
Am I a fan of Eclipse? It doesn't rteally matter to me. Some IDEs use Eclipse, some use NetBeans, and others use their own framework. As long as the tools work the underlying foundation doesn't matter much--at least to me. Perhaps Eclipse offers some benefits because people can drop in add-on programs. I have also heard Eclipse can be a pain to configure properly.
Thanks for a great intro, Jon. In answer to the moderator's question, I have used some kits from Freescale (Tower, quickstick and others and a TI MSP430 kit. Am currently experimenting with a Parallax Prepeller BOE. These are good paths for learning about the capabilities of ucontorllers, I have not done any product development yet.
Back Wednesday. Looking forward to it.
RMRSS asked: What do they offer for Low power including sleep mode as well as operating?
Does the IDE generates makefile to run using command line
Thanks for the lecture
The other Silicon Labs Precision32 MCUs have the same ARM Cortex-M3 processor. They vary by memory sizes and USB capabilities.
Luizcosta asked: Can you describe the on board monitor system used to boot the board and load the application?
Xilinx Dev kit was DARNED useful in about eight different ways -- hands on with VHDL, major multi-purpose on-the-fly-reconfigurable devices, etc.
Best thing about a development board, IMHO, has been example code for all the varieties of I/O on the board. Emulation is MUCH easier than developing from scratch.
What is the avg pricing for this micro?
thanks Rob...off to a great start
Sorry about not mentioning the ARM Cortex-M3. It's noted on slide 4, but I'll keep in mind your comment for the other seminars this week.
thank Jon...great presentation. look forward to tomorrow
Most dev kits aren't meant to convert into an application board, although you could use it that way by making I/O connections to the five sets of male pins. Most of the engineers I know would lay out their own board and go from there with a prototype more suited to their final design. Some boards are better than others for use in prototypes, and I'll cover some over the next sessions.
One attendee asked: Do the other chips for SI have the same core and IS?
Jon,Thanks for a good talk, though I didn't know you were talking about an ARM processor til the last sentence. (Pardon my ignorance, but a little more context up front might help) -Grant Schmick
Debugging capabilities are good and complete. You can monitor variables, trace code, and so on. Pretty much the typical debug tools available. The current-measurement pi9ns let you measure current during code execution, but I don't know a way to correlate it with code unless you include an I/O "trigger" command in your code to trigger a scope and measure the current across a small resistor.
Looking forward to hear AVR XMEGA
@rob: Great MC'ing, thanks for your participation. Good questions, thoughtful comments, pleasant "radio" voice, smooth timing -- you did a great job.
@jon: Good information and clear, detailed slides. You set high expectations with your earlier Digi-Key CEC session and certainly did not disappoint today.
Look forward to "seeing" everybody tomorrow.
And I had Good Questions lined up!!
You'll be back tomorrow, I'm assuming...
jl asks: how did you find the debugging capabilities in the kit to be
Thanks for the presentaion
I would like to know how can this dev kit evolve into any practical applicaitons. Thanks!
Darn -- missed it... Time to scroll down, recap, etc... I'll bet this doesn't qualify as having "attended"...
Thanks for the info
Thanks Jon, enjoyed the discussion today. Looking forward to the rest of the week.
One attendde asked whether you are a fan of Eclipse -- why or why not?
good presentation, thanks Jon
@jon - how did you find the debuggging capabilities to be in this kit
Thanks Jon!
Thanks Jon
thanks Jon and Digi-Key!
Thank you Jon.
Thanks for the presentation, Jon.
Thanks Jon and Rob, good session. See all tomorrow.
What do they offer for Low power including sleep mode as well as operating?
Thanks Jon and Digikey
thank you Jon
Thanks Jon, Very Good Lecture.
One of the best...
Nice job. Thanks.
Thanks a lot Lohn!
Jon, Thank you for today's presentation
thank you Jon,
Thank you Jon, great presentation.
@JON is there anyone who used this board to boot Linux, XINU or other OSs?
Thanks for a great lecture today, Jon.
dev kits are good because you can learn fast a new MCU, but do not have enough h/w configurable resources.
how did you find the debugging capabilities in the kit to be
Slide 30 is labeled documentation 'dislikes'. What did you find lacking in the documentation?
@JON: Can you describe the on board monitor system used to boot the board and load the application?
The HAL provides a function to directly write values to the GPIO registers. I beleive that the function name is SI32_PBSTD_A_write_pb.
In the case of blinky we use the toggle_pins, set_pins, and clear_pins functions as they are more efficent.
Dev Kits provide a good headstart not just for the s/w guys, but also the h/w designers who need to test the capapbilities of a device before committing to an expensive prototype. They are also a good way to keep skills up between design projects, and to explore new technologies with low cost.
AppBuilder looks like a "one" up on the other kits
Do the other chips for Si have the same core and IS?
Thanks jonorem.
Expect to use more kits in future as chips & SW get more complex especially since some kits are so inexpensive. Fine pitch on some parts make it difficult and expensive to roll first prototype for development from scratch.
Easier than starting from scratch
Keil (and uVision) is currently fully supported. It will run independantly of P32. If desired AppBuilder can output a uVision Project for consumption by uVision. IAR will be supported in the near future.
yes. Using a kit allows for faster start up.
Yes, we doi!
AppBuilder can also generate code for the Keil uVision IDE. IAR export is in the works (coming in the future).
I use a kit when it is available. I am more likely to use a MCU that has a good development kit.
Yes, We use Kits and Plan on using them in the future.
Yes, I do.
Will continue to use kits.
Kits are helpful when evaluating a potential supplier. So it depends on whether a micro supplier comes in with competitive products to get my attention.
Jon, are you a fan of Eclipse? Why or why not?
I expect to use kits much more often due to reduced cost and better availability.
Yes, already use dev kits
@MazianLab: The code generated by AppBuilder is C.
@jl: the compiler included with the free Precision32 IDE is the open-source gcc compiler.
Does Keil and IAR can support completly without AppBuilder?
Yes, will use more kits.
@rob: Future kit use will likely be about the same as in the past.
I use them a lot and will do so in the future
@rob - yes will continue to use kits
The P32 tool chain uses GCC (GNU) for the compiler by default
does this MCU come with its own C/C+ compiler, if so, who's
Can we build these codes with C or C+ ?
Interact with user forums.
I find that a kickstart via a seminar is always beneficial.
I Rarely need to interact and usually interaction is not very usefull.
Usually independently, but find resources if needed
There's never enough information to do all on my own.
I usually have applications questions I have to get resolved with kit mfg.s tech support.
Mostly as an indavidual, there is some help in another devision that mirrors our department
usually independent when doing simple projects. As soon as the level of complexity rises, like incorporating a library or stack (bluetooth, TCP/IP, etc), that's when all hell usually breaks loose. Sometimes, help from the vendor is needed to get through these times...
I have only had to get help once. Usually FAQ covers most problems. This is the best learning experience.
This AppBuilder seems really slick.
Usually "extra" help is needed when starting out but the need decreases rapidly as you get used to things.
I seldom need to contact the manufacturer. I get support from FAE's, but most of them just are parroting back the manual.
Generally, this is run at night or on a weekend when I am not buried with the day to day stuff.
Interaction with Forums and Manfacturers seems to be innevitable to me. No matter how good one is on something, there is so much out there and moving at the speed of light ....
If the development kit has good documentation, I can use it without help.
Web search is mostly required to answer questions that come up
@rob - can use kits independantly. mostly in evaluation and/or learning process
For me the continuous interruptions by the moderator is VERY disruptive to the flow of the presentation !!!!
the best ones require no additional help :-)
MOst individually, but sometimes I'll ask a question
I usually work on my own with the dev kits. It's a small company.
@RMRSS: AppBuilder is included as part of the free Precision32 Development Suite download:
I believe it does, but not free.
Not all intructions led to solution in my experiments. 20 to 40% required guessing "what designer / installer" meant. Tags are many times even misleading. THYE REALY WORLD!
I like the idea of a demo program but that does not supply a default template for code development.
Can you supply a workable template for processor programmimg.
free or extremely low cost kits would be great...hate to spend money just to find out it is not a platform that will work for me
and i'll second the Mac OSX dev support
Hello all
@rob - interactive debugging, complete examples, provide interactive visual HW implementation
Gerber files for the development board can be helpfull.
Lacking in most development kits: Being able to run on a Macintosh
dev boards that don't come with a power supply bother me.
Some dev kits could use more examples. Some just have the standard blink the LED project.
The ones I used had all I needed.Useful was web site info
small font
Manuf moderated user fourms.
Easier "Ease-of-Use" would be nice...
@Rob - most often too many restrictions on the tools or lack of dev tools support
I''m here late.
hello from sunny MIAMI...
Software and hardware are both important. As always, the applications dictates but the hardware usually comes first then the software.
Silde 11
Silde 10
Clarification on the code limit question: There is no code limit on the free Silicon Labs Precision32 SiM31xxx tools. You can build all the way up to the full 256 kB flash memory.
Hey all, The code red licence that comes with the kit (no cost) supports development of code up to 256kB (which is the amount of onboard flash). It does require 'activation' (registration), but the process requires only an email address.
I find it very important to have good software to come along with the hardware. It helps to clarify a lot of specific programming for the target CPU.
slide 8
It varies. SW is often more important for a new micro family. HW is more important if it is just for a different member of the family and are already familiar with the SW.
Slide 8
Hardware must be a good fit for the application. Software must have a good compiler and debugger.
Which slide?
I've purchased the dev kit for access to the Hardware, so I think this is most critical, but if the software is not usable, then that become a big problem.
What the code limit on the demo software
Both HW and SW. Just as important is documentation and useful examples.
dev kit supported with a free compiler is most useful to me... so software is important.
Software and Hardware
Hardware first, software secondary consideration.
Hardeware, Software and Cost are all important.
@rob - both HW and SW as well as documentation and debug capabilites. accuracy of doc's is super important
I choose the micro first - we use about 500K per year and cost and functionality are critical.
HW - peripheral options
both are important
@Rob - combination of both... dev tools availability is important
both hardware and software - about equally.
The biggest limitation has been the software. Especially software that has time limited functionality.
Limited usefulness
both hw & sw equal
VinceK - refresh your browser?
I would say they are useful. All though it really depends on the kit and like most things you really don't know what you're getting until you have a chance to use it.
In general, I have used numerous development kits with great success.
Yes, I have used eval kits in the past, Freescale, Analog Devices, Atmel. Very useful to get started with an unfamiliar micro.
Hello from San Diego
Generally found dev kits useful. A few were so bad they were more trouble than they were worth.
Yes, kits are very useful for learning to use the different chips.
@VinceK - audio is loud and clear (try reloading)
I thought development kits worked out well. Gives you a platform to help learn capabilities and still develop an application for yourself.
always use eval hardware/software for checking hardware and software.
Yes and No but more yes.
I've found development kits great not just for learning, but for quick prototype work to test ideas.
No audio
Yes, used development kits.
Dev kits are often great baselines for custom designs
Very useful
SDK's are good for prototyping before the PCB schematic and layout are done.
@rob - yes - development kits have been very successful and useful
They can be very helpful.
yes..they are useful and found success.
Varies, but generally, yes!
sometimes useful, othertimes a waste due to inflexibility
Good afternoon folks - sorry - running a little behind.
yes for a starting
yes, the kits are useful for development
@Rob - yes, very useful
Several from Zilog, Digi, Arduino and Pic
Yes. 8051,8081
Yes, I've used several of the TI MSP430 boards. Very good kits.
Hi All, Grant Schmick here.
