It was truly a team effort.
However, it was the team behind the scenes that played a role in Las Vinas' victory Sunday in the finals of the Aiken Polo Club's USPA Governor's Cup 6 goal at Whitney Field. Las Vinas defeated Property Consultants of the South 11-7.
The two teams had met earlier in the tournament, resulting in a Las Vinas victory, but it was that previous meeting that provided each team an opportunity to adjust to one another's tendencies. Las Vinas' roster was composed of Tony Rodriguez, Cesar Rangel, Johnny Alvarez and Eddy Martinez. The Property Consultants of the South team featured Scott Silver, Sebastian Aycinena. Tom Uskup and Luis Galvan.
The game's first three goals in the opening chukker were scored by the way of penalty conversions. Las Vinas' Eddy Martinez successfully converted 60 and 40 yard penalty shots. and Property Consultants of the South's Tom Uskup converted a penalty no. 3. But, it was the intracacies of artistry that lead to the game's first goal from the field. Las Vinas' Johnny Alvarez, in a Most Valuable Player peformance scored the first of his six goals.
Las Vinas' ability to create offensive opportunities is a part of their game that is linked inextricably to their identity, and Alvarez continued his outstanding play by scoring the chukker's first two goals from the field, staking Las Vinas to a four goal advantage. However, Property Consultants of the South had a commitment to short memories, and demonstrated their resilience creating scoring chances, and capitalizing on a pair of successful 40-yard penalty shots by Tom Uskup. Alvarez scored his third goal of the chukker as Las Vinas took a three goal advantage into the half. Uskup's second chukker horse, Split Pea, would be selected as the game's Best Playing Pony.
Las Vinas continued to maintain and control the pace of the game, scoring first in the second half, as Alvarez successfully converted a 30-yard penalty shot. Property Consultants of the South answered back on a goal by Uskup. The margin became two goals as Property Consultants of the South's Luis Galvan scored on a 60-yard penalty conversion. Cesar Rangel shed two defenders and in doing so gave Las Vinas an 8-5 lead late in the chukker. A 30-yard penalty conversion by Martinez gave Las Vinas a comfortable margin.
"We are really lucky," said Martinez. "The horses are responding so well. We've been really focusing on the horses. That's what's getting us there."
The final chukker provided ample chances for both teams to bury a number of scoring opportunities. Galvan converted a 60-yard penalty shot to bring Property Consultants of the South within three goals. But, consecutive goals from the field by Alvarez, and one from the ensuing bowl-in by Martinez, put the game out of reach. Sebastian Aycinena capped the scoring by deftly eluding defenders.
"I have to give credit to the team behind the scenes because they've been doing a tremendous job," said Martinez. "In my case, it's my wife (Linda). I give so much credit to them because of the way they take care of the horses, and you see the results."

H�ken Nesser is a brilliant writer who�s always at the top of his game.
Why he�s not better known in the United States is a mystery in itself. He�s by far the best in the business and is widely known in his native Sweden, having won the Best Swedish Crime Novel Award three times. His new release, M�nster�s Case, is yet another compelling Nesser police procedural that�s so tight, human and so easy to read that it feels as if endorphins waft up from the pages. Reading Nesser, you sometimes close the book and have this shocking realization that someone actually pounded the story out one keystroke at a time.
Nesser�s stories tell themselves; there�s no sign of the author anywhere. The characters are real people with emotions real people feel, including humor, however black, and pride and bewilderment that humbles. No grandstanding, no bluster � chastened men and women of law enforcement trying to do a job with an ability always being honed yet never nearly sharp enough.
After four retired pub chums chip in to buy a winning lottery ticket and get together to celebrate their modest windfall, one is found dead in bed, stabbed 28 times with a carving knife, and another goes missing before the sun rises. Nesser�s five other crime novels that have been translated into English have featured famously sagacious Chief Inspector Van Veeteren, who is on sabbatical preparing for well-earned retirement, tending his used bookstore and forgetting the ugliness of police work. In his stead, Inspector M�nster, Van Veeteren�s prot�g�, has a puzzler for his first solo case. He haltingly plies his trade one dead end after another, trying always to think like the maestro, but always coming up short.
The murder seems to solve itself with the confession of the dead man�s mousy wife of 40 years, who ungrudgingly walks into a jail cell with her knitting. Then another murder of another pensioner on the same shabby apartment block sends M�nster to Van Veeteren for help.
It seemed unlikely in the first place that the dead man�s wife so viciously murdered her husband, and now an unrelated homicide casts even more doubt and disorientation. After two weeks, M�nster and his comely partner Ewa Moreno have no material clues and no clue about where to turn next. The interplay between M�nster and his mentor is a priceless literary study in deeding authority and self-confidence.
Next, another dead man, the second of the quartet of lottery winners, the one who vanished, is found wedged between his houseboat and the dock. And still no clues, just more nowhere leads. It�s a fascination to watch this story unfold, the process of finding the cur one hair at a time, the twists and switchbacks, tracks blown gone, walls where windows should be.
M�nster�s Case (titled The Unlucky Lottery in Britain) is not Nesser�s best story, certainly because Van Veeteren isn�t the featured actor, but it is wonderfully done and a thoroughly fulfilling read that will have you searching for more Nesser.

South Carolina's judicial system is facing a backlog of tens of thousands of cases, but a dent won't be made to reduce that growth without much-needed resources.
Increased financial support for solicitors, public defenders and clerks of court is key, but that will prove inconsequential if those resources are not used wisely and efficiently.
Providing more money to those offices is the job of the legislature, but it must be handled smartly and responsibly.
Additional funding will also not be meaningful without a comprehensive, workable plan that can produce effective results in each judicial circuit. Supreme Court Chief Justice Jean Toal is currently working on a new system for handling criminal cases, the second stab at establishing guidelines, according to the Greenville News. Toal is cobbling together a plan with solicitor's offices around the state and two legislators who have worked as prosecutors.
Under the plan, cases would be turned over to judges if they haven't been disposed of in a year and a half. Putting the process in the hands of judges could prove troubling since they can be in short supply, possibly clogging up the system further. In her 2013 State of the Judiciary address, Toal urged South Carolina officials to help "drain the swamp" of older cases to reduce the backlog of cases. She said by having a business approach and creating cooperative partnerships, the case load can be reduced.
The term backlog, however, is somewhat arbitrary. Everyone has the right to a speedy trial, but resolving cases is not always a linear process. A simple shoplifting case can typically be resolved routinely, but more complex cases, particularly those involving forensics, can take additional time and effort.
Being able to have each judicial decision fit neatly onto a flowchart isn't conceivable. Consequently, flexibility in the system is a must.
Second Judicial Circuit Solicitor Strom Thurmond Jr., who serves Aiken, Bamberg and Barnwell counties, explained that any recommended measure should not be a one-size-fits-all approach.
"Each circuit should be allowed to tailor a plan to the unique needs of each circuit," Thurmond said.
The case docket in Aiken is certainly not the same as it is in Columbia or Greenville, and setting up a blanket system would likely make circuits struggle even more.
A well-designed and effective case management system is a must in our state. Any proposal shoulder garner strong consideration to help move our judicial system in the right direction.

Wow! Bingo by Dudley!!! Good for him.
Dudley for thr3333333!!! Must feel good to him. Big part of bench in playoffs if he can hit that consistently.
Giannis is all fired up. Dudley making plays.
Hedo had two guys with him and took that shot, lol, the second one I understand a little more
Bench squandered a nice big lead. Sigh.
Seriously???! One-point lead??!! This is disgusting.
Big tray by Matt.
Every time I see Blake's right elbow with his bursitis, it's just gross
Playing down to the competition really gets old with this team and will cost us some badly-needed wins.
Why are the Bucks giving the Clippers trouble? Clippers better start clamping on their defense before it's too late.
Barnes sucks. Not good enough to play so flashy. Turnover machine.
We are playing arrogantly, overlooking a team of professional players because of their record on paper, and trying to be too flashy. I thought this team finally kicked those bad habits earlier in the season but I guess I thought wrong.
I'm starting to think it will take Barnes being injured before Doc dares to put Granger in the starting lineup.
Except he has shown all season he can't.
The girl killed the quick hitter play taking a freaking picture.
Just first half. Teams don't usually get blown out in the first half.
Bucks will def get blown out second half.
Don't know why, but I have a good feeling Blake will finally get a triple double in this game.
I hope Blake does get his triple double tonight.
I also hope the Clippers stop the Bucks and put this game away by the 4th quarter.
Thank goodness for DC's bingo to pad the lead to 9 now. Keep it up, Clippers!
Well that is the beauty of this. All he needs is a solid one and a half month of great basketball. May, June.
So much exaggeration with Dudley. He's had one of the worst shooting seasons of his career, plagued with injuries and slumps and he still has a better 3pt% than both Barnes and Granger for the year. Also we've already seen Green and Barnes break out of shooting slumps this year, so no reason Dudley can't do the same. He's a tough year, but we should want to succeed because we're better if he does.
Barnes has the worst jumper. So flat,
I would rather not. If he plays in Post season and looks great, You can all say you told me so. But I don't trust Dudley or barnes. Barnes seems to think he is more skilled than he is.m
The Bucks are surprisingly hanging in there and giving the Clips a challenge.
We might lose to the bucks oh my god.
It's only a surprise to the people who were calling an automatic blowout win. Those of us who were paying attention saw how they made the Blazers and Warriors sweat out tough games. The Bucks are a lot better than their record.
Seriously though, this team needs to wake up fast if they want to avoid by far the most embarrassing loss of the season.
Time to put the pressure on. Can't let this game get away
Lol, count me as one of the people who expected a blowout win by the Clips. I still expect them to win, however.
I respect that and I will be the first to tell you I told you so.
I will support anyone wearing the red, white, and blue of my beloved Clippers.
Doesn't mean he will play since i got no say in it, but he still have my support.
Barnes and DJ need to wake it up with the energy.
We are just having too much trouble getting stops against this team..
Hollins needs to start playing at C.
Bucks playing really well. Great ball movement on that last play. Our 2nd unit is looking pretty bad these last few games. Still would like to see Hollins in there instead of Hedo.
The 2nd unit needs to figure out some chemistry quick.
Doc has been smart all season. I think he is realizing Big Baby and Turk on
the floor at the same time is a disaster.
That was such a slower break lol
Lol, awesome Big Baby fast break bucket.
It's good he didn't try to dunk
Don't forget Crawford who was averaging 25ppg last month has
missed almost an entire month.
When he gets back in rythym I think the bench problem will be
As well as playing Hollins at center
Griffin coast to coast for a bucket and an and-1.
I don't think they are better than their record (unless we're talking about including injuries and that their overall talent is better than their record), they just don't give up. Bad teams that don't give up can keep a lot of games close but still loose a lot and are still bad. They are still the league's worse defense and bottom 5 offense, but they aren't quitters.
They either just get outmatched or they fight tooth and nail and loose, but still a bad team which is why they haven't had a win against any .500+ team.
Blake Griffin good job and 1!
we can't have these kinds of problems on the road against any team.
How do we stop these back doors cuts
I want to see more aggressiveness from DJ and Blake on D. Bucks bigs have been making so many energy plays in the paint.
Clippers getting beat way too often this game on backdoors & cuts.
Barnes would have turned that over bit granger passed out. Why is barnes starting?
I swear if we lose this game then.... then..... LOL
Can Danny please play more. Come on Doc.
You're just on a mission to criticize Barnes tonight, even when he isn't on the floor, lol

*yawn* typical Clippers. There's been no real improvement as a team in the last 3 years. Still a 5th seed/ 1st rd exit team. SMH. So many holes on this roster. Kudos to the Spurs.
A trade has to happen does not matter what just shake things up. Bullock should start next game.
So it's their fault they're durable?
How many face ups did Blake have this game? It seems that many times instead of letting Blake face up the ball handlers would defer to Jamal and he would take a low percentage shot. If the ball went to Matt he would pass back to Chris and CP would motion Blake to set a pick for him. Just annoyed at how the Clippers play sometimes. They have very high percentage plays but refuse to use them when they need points. If Blake is facing up more than likely he will score or at least draw a foul or dish out for an open pass. When they ball handlers go away from him (mainly Jamal) they still have at least 10 sec on the clock to give Blake the ball again for that good shot. But they don't, and Jamal will try to draw a foul or take a contested low percentage perimeter shot. I want to blame the whole team for how they played on offense not just Jamal. It just looks like I'm blaming Jamal the most probably because I'm focusing on him more than the other players on the team.
Tl:dr - If you can't get the ball to Blake, not setting screens for the wing players or doing a pick and roll, try again. Don't take those stupid contested perimeter shots trying to draw a foul. I'm blaming Jamal, Matt, Dudley (basically the wing players) for not executing a simple entry pass to Blake. They see him, Blake calls for the ball, they look at him, then they turn and pass it out to another guy who is standing around the 3pt line. Goodness gracious I'm super angry.
And you do?
This was an "effort loss". Closing out shooters, securing rebounds, 50/50 balls, taking lazy jumpers instead of going inside. Vinny would have been crucified for a loss like this last year, but I said it then and I'll say it now... these type of losses are on the players.
To beat the Spurs the Clippers needed decent shooting from the outside. Unfortunately outside of Crawford, nobody stepped up. Blake Griffin did his part and then some, DJ & Jamal had good games, but nobody else had meaningful contributions. Chris Paul- just an awful game. CP couldn't make anything, wouldn't take some of the open looks, and became kind of a ball-stopper on offense, eating away shot-clock without gaining any sort of advantage for the team.
The Spurs bench, one of the best in the league, reminds of last season's Clipper bench. The Clipper reserves, mediocre at best, just couldn't keep up. Patrick Mills especially just torched the Clippers, starters & bench.
Then you look at the rebounding #'s. DJ & Blake with 30 boards, but then the next highest was the smallest guy on the team, Chris Paul, with 3. That's just a lack of awareness & quickness by the wings.
Very disappointing loss, but gotta bounce back in couple days vs the Grizz who have been playing better.
Pretty much. But homers whine that anyone who points this out is "just being too negative."
I don't really care that we can torch the likes of the Bucks and Sixers or even beat fraud teams like the Blazers. When it's time to play OKC and the Spurs, our obvious flaws get exposed over and over again and nothing ever changes.
Our rebounding is terrible! We should be getting 67- bards from the 3, 4 boards from the 2. 5-6 from the backup bits. We got 2, 0, and 2 respectively. We need to trade for some solid rebounders and defenders. (Hello Evans and MBA a Moute!)
Should of used the pick and roll more to get both bigs better looks.
Ok I will get flamed for this - I know he has been balling, but it is time to trade jamal this summer (and I'd say this season if we were getting jj back). His need to be the man down the stretch is hindering blake. He never looks for him. Also, his game does not translate to the playoffs, and some sort of package involving him might actually get us a consistent above average 3. We can pick up a backup big in free agency essentially. I never want to see barnes or Dudley on the court in a clippers jersey ever again.
Doc admitted he didn't coach well in post game interview
Doc should use this game to aggresively make a trade.
He was terrible.
CP3 played great last two games. So to blame the injury is laughable. Bottom line is CP3 is shook by the Spurs.
Spurs and okc and Memphis all in his head.
It's funny how CP3 didn't look "injured" or "exhausted" when he was playing big minutes at the All-Star Game. It's time to admit it: CP3 shrinks in too many big games, especially against the Spurs. End of story.
Yes, we have no small forwards or backup bigs. Yes, Jamal plays no defense. But CP3 is on a max contract and refused to take a pay cut - after making demand after demand, threatening to go to Houston or Atlanta with Dwight, and trying to throw our organization under the bus all summer long, by the way - and he played like a D-League role player in a must-win game tonight. I would trade him for LeBron in a second if LBJ really wants to be a Clipper.
Looks like the Clippers partied too hard this weekend...smh
Look at the freaking rebounding only two players had more than one rebound outside of the bigs and its under 4. Doc has to do his damn job and get this team rebounding as a unit.
Dud needs to go. He is a "starter" coming off the bench, and his production is nill. Maybe we have been spoiled rotten with a great bench in seasons past, but this is getting a little bit ridiculous
How far along is Jared Dudley? I wonder if it's a boy or girl.
Bullock should be starting its amazingly obvious at this point.
Barnes is GARBAGE. Get him off this team. First getting the whole team to party too hard with him in Cabo, and then quitting on the team tonight. I've had enough of him. What a waste of money - knew it before the ink even dried on his contract.
Blake needs to be more assertive down the stretch, I'm worried he is deferring again.
If you look at the second photo, you'll see Ryan Gomes in it.
Our SF's are struggling hard enough without having the stank o' Gomes all over them.
Doc needs to declare him a banned substance for all Clippers.
Blake should come out and make a statement this team only goes as far as Paul plays. If Blake is suppose to take the next step then Paul at the least needs to have a Wade impact in big games. As far as Crawford people are insane if they want him gone he covers for so many poor players on the team. Weak defender but when Paul goes dribble happy or the SFs give us nothing or JJ goes Billups he wins us. Games.
That looks like something that should be left for the off-season, the gone fishing stuff. Heard that Jamal went to Seattle to play pick-up games. I guess he couldn't convince the other guys to go with him and stay sharp, lol.
By the way, it's not a surprise that our flakiest players - Barnes, DJ, Dudley - were the ones getting wasted in Cabo. Meanwhile, at least Blake, CP3, and Jamal were still focused on basketball during the break. Really shows who's professional and who's immature.
Lol at those slackers. We need to trade BOTH Barnes and Dudley. Bullock can be backup wing.
So whose mascot is gonna start for us? ...because that's all we'll get back in trade right now.
Maybe DJ didn't party too hard as he was pretty sharp and played his part. Barnes on the other hand- every photo he's holding drink(s). He was probably still suffering some sort of hangover effects, lol.
Barnes and Dudley are pathetic. I know no team in their right mind would trade for both, but maybe if can somehow Barnes for a set of dumbbells then at least Dudley can finally get in freakin' shape. His arms look like they've never seen the gym.
By the way, Barnes and Dudley each a whopping ONE rebound. Great job guys. Its sounds like you tried really hard out there.
A reall y disappointing result given the importance of a win in regards to Weetern standings, we let a crippled Spurs team put 113 on the board SMMFDH
Damn, are people turning on CP3 after one bad game? Yes, it was a horrible game by him, but I think he's allowed to have bad game every once in a while. And are you guys really trying to compare CP3 to Durant or Lebron? I love CP3 and think he's a top 5 player, but you all do realize he's only 6 feet, 175 lbs, right? He's not a physical freak of nature like Lebron or Blake and he doesn't have incredible length like Durant. The fact that he's built like an normal person means he's bound to get hurt and not be as durable as some of these giants in the NBA. No, he's doesn't have the physical gifts of a Lebron, Durant, or Paul George even, but he is still the BEST point guard in the game. You could say that his record against Tony Parker and Westbrook isn't great, but they also have had better teams around them than CP3. If you switched CP3 with either of those PGs, Chris would automatically make that team better. CP3 has always (until very recently) been the best player on his team who had to carry everyone on his back, you can't say the same for Parker and Westbrook.
I don't think this explains it away, he's played fine against those teams this year, he just sucked tonight.
Superstars have bad games though, we can't deny this.
There's stuff like this:
http://www.basketball-reference.com/box ... 80UTA.html
And this:
http://www.basketball-reference.com/box ... 10MIN.html
It's life, and a bad scoring game for Paul who averages 19 pts is different from a bad scoring game for Durant who's at 32 pts a game. If you're looking at things like percentages and scoring, comparing to similar stature players makes more sense and you'll find similar situations, they can have more of a difficult time getting good shots up and they can't bully their way to the basket.
I thought DJ played pretty good today. He grabbed 18 boards and had 6 blocks. Not to mention he knocked down two key free throws to stop Pop from doing the Hack a DJ. CP3 looked pretty bad today though...I hope it doesn't mean his shoulder is still injured...he grabbed it a few times tonight. But when Patty Mills owns CP3, it makes it difficult for the Clippers to beat the Spurs.
You can keep making excuses, but for me, CP3 has officially run out of free passes after that embarrassing performance. He's had too many games like this during his time here, especially against the Spurs, to justify his max contract and "superstar" hype. Nobody's expecting perfection every night, but for a so-called "superstar" to get shut down and torched by Patty Mills is completely inexcusable.
CP3 is not fully 100 percent healthy anyone notice he hesitate shooting the 3 ball,he needs to strengthen his shoulders. A superstar? yes he is but in full health with no injury.
We need to improve the offensive and defensive rebounds and shoot the 3 ball to defeat the Spurs,thats the real reasons why we loss last night.
He played 24 minutes at the All-Star Game. If he truly isn't anywhere near 100% then he should have sat out and it was selfish of him to play. Nobody brought up his shoulder when he dropped 20 and 12 on the Blazers. CP3 grabbing his shoulder last night while playing like **** reminded me of Melo doing the same thing last year in the playoffs. In both cases, what they were really grabbing for was an excuse.
Face it, when it's time to play the Spurs, CP3 is mentally weak. In the biggest game of his career to date, Game 7 against the Spurs in 2008, CP3 deferred to Jeremy freaking Pargo in the clutch. Was his shoulder hurting then, too?
At some point, we can't keep making excuses for CP3. "Franchise players," "superstars" and "max contract guys" don't get annihilated by no-name scrubs in a must-win game like CP3 was last night. He needs to be held accountable, and he needs to take a back seat to Blake now, because the "CP3 offense," as proven over and over again, is not a winning strategy. CP3 has never gotten past the second round as the #1 option for a reason.
I'm with you. But I guess there are some that are perfect every day of their lives and expect no less from anyone on teams they root for. Best PG in the game has a bad day,time to fire him and Doc and everyone else. Rebuild this team. SMH
Nobody expects perfection, but is it really too much to ask for our max-contract "superstar" to play like one at home against a Spurs team missing three starters instead of getting dominated by Patty Mills? I really don't think that's an unreasonable expectation, and if it is, we're in deep trouble with this core.
You shake your head at needing to rebuild the team, but it's actually closer to the truth than we'd like to admit. Bottom line, outside of Blake, CP3 (when he decides to show up), and JJ (when healthy), the rest of the team is extremely flawed and not built for the playoffs. Even Crawford and DJ - do you really trust them in the playoffs? And I shouldn't have to explain why Barnes, Dudley, Hollins, et al. are useless.
It's only his 3rd game back after a long time out so maybe he is rusty, or maybe his shoulder was bothering him. His performance was disappointing but I think you are being harsh.
In his first game back, we crushed the Sixers.
In his second game back, he put up 20 and 12 in a win against the Blazers.
In the All-Star Game, CP3 put up 11, 13 and 3 in 24 minutes off the bench.
So his shoulder was fine for three decent performances but then when it's time to play the Spurs, he's suddenly too "injured" to take advantage of Patty Mills playing big minutes? Not buying it. Even at 50%, CP3 should outplay Patty Mills if he's as good as advertised. It's all mental with him against the Spurs (and in other must-win games).... he is shook.
As I said before CP3 has trouble guarding a quicker PG and he has problem when he is guarded by a taller opponent, Well it's not my opinion it's a fact. Mills is quicker than him.
This loss was on doc, cp3, barnes and Dudley. Crawford needs to be more of a team player in 4th quarter but I can't blame him. I wish Chris hadnt gone to New Orleans
What is wrong with Bullock, is he that bad in practice. Guy knows how to play D and can shoot, Doc open your eyes please.
We do'nt expect him to make every night 10+ points, he need to be that stopper in D and grab some boards and when he's open shoot the three we've enough people who can score
I would start him over Barnes and led Matt come off the bench which i think is better for him.
Dudley + (Mullens/Hollins/Green) i would trade for G.Davis (Magic).
The game was awfull, we need to play like a team in D and Offence.
I think that's exactly what happened last night actually. Nobody knows for sure if a seriously shoulder injury is going hold up every single night. And he didn't "shrink" against the Spurs last time we played them in a win when he had 23 pts on 8-13 shooting, 7 asts, 8 rebs, and 4 steals.
And let's say CP3 is only at 50%:he had 10pts, 9 assists, 4 steals. That's a little over 50% of his averages for points per game and almost at his assists per game average.
If anyone watched shoot around Antwan couldn't hit his own Jamison from anywhere

Thanks Fred
catching up
Another great class. Thanks Fred.
I would like to see this down on an ARM processor.
Have not used the CCS C Compiler.
Downloading slide deck.
Looking for the code to download for this track.
Hello from Beaverton, Oregon.
hello all from Edmonton, alberta
Thank you Design News and Digi-Key
Thanks DigiKey, Design News and Fred E.D. :)
Side Note: Portability and Platform Independence can be important elements of design consideration. CCS special instructions are nice, but may preclude such portability and independence.
Good general introduction. Well done presentations (minus slide background that makes it hard to read). Would like to take this class concept to a small RTOS application with similar teaching walk-thru ...
very nice project with useful information for future reference
Thank you.
thank you Fred,
thanks fred
I'd like to see a presentation on a boot loader for atmel
I'm not familar with the ccs c compiler
Okay picking up the last day
Thanks FRED
Thanks Fred, great course.
Late again....having snow here. Thanks for archiving these lectures .
Yeah, snagged it finally . My week is complete.
I'll have to try that.
I've been snagging it using RealDownloader . I have 4 of the 5 days, just having trouble getting the interface to be repeatable. dang software.
The audio cannot be downloaded, sorry.
Having trouble downloading the audio to an MP3 file. Is it possible for someone to post links to this rather than the web based flash player ? Sometimes I can snag it using RealPlayer downloader, sometimes not. Don't have that issue with other links, like youTube. Something about the blogRadio hosting, I would guess. Would like to archive the file and put on my iPod to go along with the slides.
Oooh! Just finnished my green tea and left the bag in. STRONG.
I'm planning on it too, but things can change. Maybe see ya then. l8r
I'll be here in two weeks for the next class.
Thanks Kentj (So do I! LOL!) I'm writing a Fat16/32 file system right now. Origionally released the product with only Fat 16, but getting cards smaller than 4G is getting tough now. ANyway hope to see ya in cyberland.
@mharkins: I hope for the best with your endevor.
YEa it veries by uP Manufacturer. In the Rensas part, you can put it in the protected mode to insure nothing can disable the watchdog. In this case, there's no way to disable it without a total reflash of special registers that are set in compile (or assembly) time. I don't believe they can be reprogrammed without a total erasure of the part. I still have questions in to Renesas about this though.
Oh, I'm using the PIC32 and it does.
Kentj No, if the processor (in this case a renesas part) is running in the protected mode, by definition you can't turn off the watch dog. It is hardware locked.
Works fine for me!
The audio archive does not seem to be available . Is there a problem out there?
Thank you Fred, great work! Looking forward to hear you again.
Thank you Rich, sponsors and all participants.
We all want Fred back soon.
The earlies semesters in the archive have much mcu, fpga, and rtos.
also universityeetimes.com has the other UBM sessions, DN Radio's twin.
I shall continue to try the links as soon as I clean up my c drive load.
CRC variants are easy - but sometimes this sign alot code overhead for small size of flash ROM inside of MCUs
If someone provide some training on Rasberry Pi would be nice. I know it is pretty specific, but just a thought.
Have a great day everyone and thanks much for making this presentation available archive. It really helps. Thanks Fred, Rich and Digikey.
You can turn off the WDT as part of the Bootloader program and I am using Bulk transfers in USB for error checking while it's downloading.
Yep, FPGAs. I need but haven't used them because of training time.
I argree with you LevitonDave, also handling things like watchdog routines when processor is running in protected mode and the wd can't be disabled can also be a challenge.
Hi Fred, We would like to get lecture from you on FPGA if possible. Thanks.
Note: pbp-lec-driver.pbp should be used as pbp-lcd-driver.pbp
Lots of the challenges of the bootloaders is not the actual reprogramming steps or translating an Intel HEX file but the handling of intregity checking and exception recovery. This becomes more challenging when the source is not local "streaming" or is not reliable where error recovery is needed.
For many of these issues the ability to get the boot loader right is challenging and it too may need to be updated in the field. Addressing this as part of the "advanced" class might also be useful.
@Fred Eady: Thanks Fred. Yep, tons of fun. I don't use PICs much, but I was interested in the MicroSD card interface, etc.. See you out there in bitstream land.
Thanks for the suggestions. You folks ROCK!
Looks like all of the questions have been answered.
I'll stick around for a bit to make sure eveyone has been helped.
I like the idea of the other boot loader sources mentioned (WiFi and cellular). Add USB port to the list.
hey, fred, what about the Penguino?
Thanks, Fred. I was unable to attend last (2) days. Can you provide a master link again to point to all the download materials this week?
@aefelgate: No worries :-)
http://www.edtp.com/dsn/ is common to all downloads.
Just add the filenames to that http string.
@LevitonDave Thanks for the suggestion for a "streaming" boot loader--this is exactly what I need to implement, but using a cellular channel rather than WiFi.
any good free alternatives to CCS compiler for folks who are not intimidated by having to do a little more work to set up a commandline/batch compile environment? ide's are great and add value but i don't find them an absolute requirement for small projects.
@bartholemew: I think there is an Open Source C compiler out there for PIC. However, I can't put a name on it.
If we are looking at other boot loaders - it would be useful to do a class on "streaming" boot loading (no local storage) and some of the complications associated with that along with unreliable streaming (WiFi) channel and issues associated with that as well.
Thanks Fred..Excellent lecture..eventhough I came in late.
Thanks Fred, excellent week.
Does anyone know where he put CCS C compiler and IDE? For us to upload
@Alven: The IDE can be had from the Microchip site. CCS C can be had from www.ccsinfo.com.
@alven scroll down to the beginning of the chat, someone reposted the links there.
Thanks again Fred
Thanks Fred and Rich
Thanks, Fred! Great presentation, that was fun. Appreciate the links. Hope to see more of your magazine articles too.
Source code of PPT slides does not match the downloads from the .ZIP file .
@bitbanger55: Trust the zip file code. I had to cut and trim things to make them fit the slides. I made some corrections to the zipped code as well. Plus, if we were to examine all of the code line by line, this would be a 10-day class.
Hope you had fun, bitbanger55 :-)
Where can we get a copy of the bootloader?
Thanks Fred!
Thanks to all of you that participated in this class. I had an absolute BLAST!
Be sure to post your platform of choice for a possible future class.
Here are the downloads that have been added today:
I'm diving back into chat..
Thanks again to all of you and I hope to "see" you again.
I'd like to see a similar lecture for the TI TMS570 processor
When picking another processor, it would be useful if there was a readily available board to experiment on.
@aefelgate: scroll down todays chat. All 4 have been repeated today.
So you must me comipling CCS C code in host machine and then copy that to SD Card?
@cmpatel: That is correct.
@Bartholemew The CCS compiler is available in a command line version at less cost. That is the version I have, but I run it under MPLAB. You can do command line if you wish.
Would recommend ARM Cortex M3, and Atmel.
Also, sessions on embedded WiFi would be most welcome!
Thank you Fred and Rich for a valuable series.
For me Freescale Cortex-M3
Thanks Fred, and DigiKey & Rich
Yes would like to see future presentations from you PERIODAny controller any time :)
Beside powepoint presentation where can I get the code exemples?
How about the MPC5121?
It uses the ADS5121 Development Board...
Fred ,
Thanks for presentation.
I think 8051 would be a good choice since it has a wealth of periferals.
How about Ardunio ?
We use AVR and ARM mostly in our embedded apps, PIC deserve for look on it.
Yes, it would be nice to see bootloader on other platforms, from different vendors: Atmel, NXP, etc...
I also would like Cortex-M3
Thanks Rich and Fred for a Great Week, enjoy the Snowshoeing Fred! Gotta run
Thanks Fred. Great week! A version for the ARM Cortex might be interesting.
Thx Fred and Rich and attendees . Have a great and safe weekend, y'all.
Microchip is great for me! :) Thank you Fred, Rich and the CEC folks, excellent week!
Thank you Fred & Rich for all your efforts and help
Thanks Rich and Fred. I really enjoyed the class.
Thanks Fred and Rich.
Have a nice Day.
Thanks Fred and Rich. Can you arrange a lecture for Cortex-M3 bootloading.
Thanks Fred..
Thanks much Fred, GREAT JOB!
ARM cortex
Thanks Fred and everyone else who made it happen
Thanks Fred and Rich! It is really nice to see this level of detail, a real working example. I really appreciate what you showed us!
thanks Fred
Have a good weenkend folks
Thank you very much Fred and Rich!
Great pres Fred
Excellent week long presentation, I'm there for any class you present. Thanks again
I second Atmel (ATmega), would also suggest ARM Cortex-M3.
ARM Cortex M3 NXP or STMicro processors - thanks for a great week.
Thank you Fred
Much thanks, Fred!
Atmel, Thank you Fred
Thank you Rich and Design News and DigiKey
Thank you Rich!
Thanks Fred!!
Freescale or 8051
thank you fred
thanks Fred it was a great pt!
Thank you Fred, for this great week!
Atmel would be interesting...
Very Nice course, Fred - thank you!
Thank you Rich for nice organization!
Thank you Fred!
Thx Don,did he also upload or give us the path for the bootloader?
@donnb The complier demo version is at: http://www.ccsinfo.com/ccsfreedemo.php
i have several instances of IE open. Firefox would slow down this poor little Windoze machine even more
updating flash doesn't take but a couple minutes over a broadband connection and no reboot is required so you might do that if you don't get any good results just trying a different browser
ok with FireFox & regular Flash 11
He downloaded the inteface enviroment yesterday so we could get a for it. Was that something different?
@tesumner if you have other browsers installed give them a try. IIRC IE uses a different Flash binary (activex control) than FireFox (netscape style plugin)
so the CCS C file is compiled in host computer to generate .HEX file and then it is copied to SD Card. If I am not correct please make me.
Today's PPT slides should have code ZIP by the end of this session.
ccs is not a free compiler
Sound is ok here using FireFox with debug version of Flash player 11.x
@YvonH - regarding bad sound: if you hapeen to be using google chrome, note that chrome uses its own embedded version of flash and there can be conflicts with any other flash installations on your machine. quckests experiments to try to fix audio problems are to load the webinar page in differentn browsers. if you need to use chrome, go to your extensions and disable all but one of the flash players that chrome is using.
My audio keeps cutting out, again
A bit late today, but still made to the live session...
Hello everyone!
seems so, may be zip has older code
hi all
nice idea to look in PP viewer, thanks
I suggest the free Powerpoint reader from Microsoft:
One needs M-S power point or a sub that renders the PP correctly to get the background to allow the text to be clearly displayed.
background? can be removed in openoffice (or like it) if needed
Powerpoint Viewer 2010 works very well and it is free to download
Mine is fine but I have MS Powerpoint 2010
Hi everybody
No problems here Bill_A
With PowerPoint Viewer 2010 you will not have issues with the background. If using OpenOffice/LibreOffice you'll need to update to current version.
Is anyone have the problem to read the text on the slide?
Very difficult to read the slides with the background image!
Have a nice weekend all. I'm going to wait for the archive. The sound keeps stopping, it is hard to follow.
Slide #5
I have been using CCS for the last three years. Works great.
I think I was one of the first CCS complier users back in the 1990's. I bought it because I could not believe you could write a C compiler on a PIC that only had a 3 level stack back them. Been using them ever since.
@AriQue - comes with Microchip tools
because it is free have ccs compiler experience but had some issues with the compiler not initializing pins as expected.
Don't know anything about CCS C Compiler.
New to CCS C compiler
No experience with CCs C compiler
Not familiar with the CCSD Compiler.
Yes, Design News sends the cards. Either print out or transfer the amount to your plastic card
not familar with
Sounds is stopping all the time. I refreshed the web page several times. Any suggestions?
Sound is good
@johndw244 - was the email that contained your card from Design News?

hi all!
Where can I find the schematics?
Hello from Texas
@bitbanger55 thanks for clarification
Hi all
to "Any one stuck in a snow storm"
I 'm not going there!!!
Oh well, guess I just lied. Rod. R.
I used my Starbucks card to get two almonds a a bag of chips
5 usd at Safeway Starbucks in Fairbanks. I had iced coffee
and like de-caf.
I have more than one and see it your way @Kentj
this one does this period. I am afraid to try and open this at school or work.
I'm having green tea with high caffeine content.
I have two computers. One for this and one for work. And I work out of the home.
@uscschmidt, good point. Using OpenOffice.org Impress I draggid the pointer across the (read only)
and got multi colorful text, some easier to read. Graet slides, they must have cost someone a small fortune.
I'm here
I need a strong coffee....
Look at the time stamps at the bottom of the page. We were here earlier than that.
So, you don't work?
We are here for the witty repartee
LOL, why are all you here 1.5 hours early?
what I did, is in powerpoint, right click on background, click on background, then click on the pulldown on left side. Select leftmost white box and select. Then hit apply to all slides. that should remove the background from all slides. Save as a copy if you want to keep the original.
Fred, do you agree ?
Good afternoon, everyone, from NJ where it is snowing
I use office 2003. Most of the slides are unreadable. However I have discovered that if you click on the text, you get black text in in a white box, making it easy to read.....

Good Morning
Hello from Milwaukee.
I miss the snow.
In Vermont, 19°F, overcast, and depending on the source, 12-18 or 18-24 inches of snow by noon Saturday. Given the temperature (overnight low of 13°F) it should be light and fluffy. For me, it's a good thing.
Good Morning from Rainy San Jose, CA.

I sure wish these slides were numbered.
I decided to see if I could take the entire sensor lecture again. Rodney B. Rutherford
Thank you Randy and Chuck
Position, pressure, magnetic, moisture, light and gas - sensors
Some temperature sensors to control internal temperature of device
Hello from Oregon
pressure, temperature, light, conductivity(wet/dry), magnetometers, accelerometers, flow(to determine speed of movement through water)
marine biology research:tags
thanks randy
very interesting stuff
I'm interested in gas concentration levels
I work with gas detection sensors
Hi picking up this class a bit late
All Temp, pressure, vibration, position and flow.
Typically vendor sites
We use pressure, temperature, vibration and flow sensors...... Oil and Gas equipment testing.
Thanks Chuck, Randy and Digikey for the session.
measurement interest is liquid level, temperature is a concern. the measurement must be accurate between -40C to +85C
usually, my first website search is Digikey for a part, then go to the datasheet link.
we manufacture and design Guided Wave RADAR liquid level sensors for the tank truck industry.
Thank you, Randy!
@host - pressure, light, magnetic, temperature
@host - digikey website for datasheets
@host - telecom industry
Great to have access to the recorded sessions!
Missed the live lecture due to travel.
Got my papers.
Thanks guys.
Hi I am Aerospace Engineer with a degree from Iowa State University. This topic is interesting to me due to the fact that aerospace applications, especially wind tunnel testing involves pressure sensors, transducers of various types for generating data that is valuable to later analysis
thank you Randy,
i don't think that there is "the best site" for checking sensors. you need to check the specific sensor and its datasheet from its mfg. company.
accuracy, resolution, linearilty, hysteresis and repeatability are thinks you need to consider in any design
designed apps with light, pressure, acceleration, IR, temp, voltage/current, vibration.
used all kind of sensors for automation projects
hia all again,
Want to know about sensors
Great serries
Linearity is a big problem; hope we'll go deeply in minimizing techniques
Looking forward to attending tomorrow's lecture
Thanks Randy; Great Lecture
Not in sensor work right now.
Thank you Randy
It was very illustrative presentation.
Well, better late than never
Thanks again, Randy ...
That's it for today.
Thanks everyone.
We have a sensor that has been specified as 0.08% BSL typical (linearilty, hysteresis and repeatability combined) (0.14% BSL max.). What is the mathematical meaning of this?
This is one of those alternate terms used for best-fit straight line. In my slide 12, you'll know it is actually an eye-ball identification. The equation would be similar to slide 11 but slightly more difficult to detemine exactly. This is why suppliers often used the least squares best fit, since it has a mathematical representation. Many suppliers explain their methodology in an application note. You might want to see if this is the case for your supplier.
Most sensors are processor integrated. arnt these proporties more dependent on sofware vs hardware?
Sensors that have integrated digital processing and signal conditioning have both the hardware and software to improve on the basic (inherent) properties of the transducing element. If not properly applied, they can add more inaccuracy. In many cases, these are smart sensor that we will discuss in more detail. As noted, some parameters such as precision (and resolution) cannot be corrected by hardware or software.

BruceW that link just takes me to digikey's pressure sensor selection page not to a specific sensor
Once I had a specific part number in mind, I used Google to obtain the manufacturer's data sheet.
Randy, the slides showing difference on accuracy and precision are the best explanation I have seen on the subject. One related thing not covered, and often misunderstood is resolution, i.e. number of bits/digits. Maybe you could discuss in the chat session.
I did not resolution have on the slide but did mention that resolution (specifically for digital output sensors) is impacted by the number of bits of the A/D conversion. It is representative of precision for the digital sensor. The quantization error is reduced by increasing the bit rate and the cost goes up as well. For an analog sensor with a continuous output, precision is a little more straight forward.
Most of Digi-Key's data sheets are actually links to the manufacturer's data sheet, as in the example used: http://www.bosch-sensortec.com/content/language1/downloads/BST-BMP085-DS000-05.pdf
I typically use online spec sheets from companies such as Keyence and SunX (Panasonic). Looking at those may require that you sign in, however.
I have found the manufacture data sheet is not always correct for individual sensors, so I have to calibrate the sensors I use to verify my software will follow the sensor for the tempurature I work in.
Correlation between supplier and user is frequently an issue in measurements. However, the supplier should be meeting its data sheet. You might want to see if they can work with you to determine why you are observing specifc product outside of their specs. It could save you money.
HVAC controls
Military and aerospace
using pressure sensors for measurement of depth of seawater (100psia) and pressure of compressed air (2200 psig).
Are you using live spec sheets? If so which ones and where can we get them to follow in review???
I just went to the Digi-Key website then filtered to sensors/transducers, then pressure and selected from the potential manufacturers. Data sheets on line rarely had an accuracy value specified. In any case, you ned to go to the real data sheet not an on-line compilation that could have typos, to get the real values and technique being used by the supplier.
Thanks, Randy,
Some manufacturer's do not offer analog versions of their pressure sensors. I guess a calibration house can submit accuracy numbers at various pressures.
Thanks Randy. Will repeat the course. Thanks....
On slide 12 (for a future presentation), might the difference between the two "End Points" (currently labeled "B") be renamed "C" (since the two "B's" are not necessarily the same)?
Good point. As I noted, I sourced the graphic from a manufacturer's website
I second garysxt's remark. Best, most succinct explanation I've seen.
Good afternoon Randy

@Randy & Chuck: Thanks for the informative presentation.
ahl5741, aren't you on it? The place you posted your question is the live chat page.
Same page as you're posting.
Thanks Randy
Just looking at the technical feedback of the listeners, there are many excellent observations that listeners should review.
Help, where is the digikey live chat page??
Looks good, but maybe include a few spec sheet examples within the PPoint.
Thanks Randy and Chuck
A sensible way to evaluate sensors, thanks.
Thank You Randy

Great topic. Thanks!
Thkx Randy, Chuck.
good lecture, thanks
Thanks for the great lecture today, Randy.
Randy, thank you for today's lecture.
Randy, thanks!! enjoyed it.
@ Dave SD - Often the manufacturer just digitizes her line of analog sensors; and if we consider that digitization does not affect the base accuracy of the analog sensor materially, you can just use the comparable model's analog specs until you hit the ADC q-noise, jitter, DNL, ANL spec limits.
On slide 14, that equation forces the line to go through (0,0). A more common fit has both a slope and an offset.
I use the sensors by Siemens with a florine sensor mount that minimizes the linearity
tschette, I thought that the endpoint differences (B) were the same, isn't that how you get the best straight-line fit?
David SD,
Thats why I include a calibraton aplet in my software for digital sensors.
Most analog pressure sensor specifications include an accuracy spec. However, the digital pressure sensor/transmitters I've seen have specs that do not include an accuracy spec. QA department personnel and Engineering typically require this info, making it difficult to bring in digital pressure sensors.
Thats what I use in my software, least squares best fit.
How to see datasheet?
What chart are you referencing?
