Hi Guys. I thought it appropriate to start a new thread on the Micromite since I do not
wish to go "off topic" of my trying to get well tested Picaxe 28X2 modules and perhaps boards
for Snoopy's Robot Boats - see www.gpss.co.uk/autop.htm
- and please understand why I wish to stick to this hardware, to use well tested autopilot since December 2017
Here is the reply I sent on the other thread to Dennis who asked about the Micrpmite >>>
Hi Dennis. I'll try and start a new thread on something like "Micromite" since it is possible
that Revolution Education might choose to own and sell this product. At little or no cost to them ;-)

You will see my "Snoopy" page on www.gpss.co.uk/autop.htm has a prominent
link to my "Micromit" page on www.gpss.co.uk/micromit.htm
BUT before any discussion and detail from me, it might be worth a glimpse
at my CV on www.gpss.co.uk/robinscv.htm - avoiding Grandma ( or Grandma ) being told to suck eggs ;-)
I am indebted to Revolution Education, Hippy, etc, for the MicroMite - simply because my friend Roy about it,
before the Micromite, and I then invested many man-months over several years, to get a well tested Autopilot.
With hindsight, to modify my MicroMite based autopilot, to include the Trans-Atlatic mission
would only take me a few man days or weeks of effort - BUT spread over how many months or years ?![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I also talk about the Micromite on my "Press" page www.gpss.co.uk/press.htm
but I would not wish discussion to continue here, without the blessing of Revolution Education.
In short, that free public domain firmware, written by Austalians, has a complete operating system editor,
Basic interpretor, and maths library, to go on a cheap industry standard chip.
I will be very happy for Hippy to talk with Mick Gulverston in Australia.
BUT let us not forget the Picaxe - particularly for systems where the complete application software load has been tested VERY well ;-)
