I am looking to sell my german copy of Secret of Evermore. I don't understand German very well. I found it quite a while ago. Preferably I would trade it for an english version that comes in box with strategy guide just like my one. Any german members interested? This could be your next great videogame pickup

We think Zilog should hop onto the Maker train and support creative minds. They are not doing this at the moment which is a shame because they already have nice devboards that don't cost a lot. The main problem is the lack of tutorials on how to program for their eZ8 microcontroller. That's why we started building our own tutorial and programmers reference.

There is one major hurdle to overcome when you want to get into eZ8 programming and that is the Zilog SmartCable. You need one of these or else it won't work with the IDE. The communication protocol with the debug interface (which you use to program the chip with) is fairly standard TTL level UART (rs232 serial, but 3V/5V levels) A normal usb to TTL converter does not work with their IDE as we tested. The cable is hard to get for a fair price. They go for about $30 and shipping is expensive. The eZ8 itself is a really cheap microcontroller at $6 for the most powerful 64k flash model and around $3 for a 16k flash version.

We hope that our website will encourage people to start programming for the eZ8. I try to be on #zilog on EFnet as often as possible.

I think most of you already know how to get to our website (I posted the link in IRC a quite often), but those of you who don't: http://www.8times8.host56.com/ez8tut

Guess what:

I once wrote an IRC server in lua for computercraft. Maybe you could improve it. There are some bugs in it that are relatively easy to fix, but I stopped playing minecraft.

an IRC server? :O NOT a client? :O

Also a client program ofc.

Oh. Bummer

So you can NOT program it? This is a hoax?

Wow that is amazing! How did you manage to program it?

I am correct because I watched a gamegrumps episode of Arin and Jon playing. Dave is doing a great job, but I miss Jon. I hope he comes back in a couple of months or so. First lets see what Dave has to say
