"fritz is a lying pig "
** FYI = d*****ad.John Clark is a former staffer of EA magazine.
He was one of the defectors that left along with Leo Simpson and Greg Swain to form the original SC staff.
That event precipitated the return of Jim Rowe to the editorship of EA magazine.
Mr Rowe did not consider the departure of the above three to be any great loss at all.

Others are from 3rd parties that are not full time with silicon chip.
I agree it would be good if they did release the code, like Circuit Cellar does. Whether that happens or not is up to the designer and the mag I guess.
How many people would actually want it is another issue. Most would probably be happy just to build the kit.
Sigh, you'll learn.
i just got a few 300mw last week from overseas.... thing is customs wouldnt even know what a laser is... the lasers i got look like old metal can transistors...

Yawn - that just shows how ignorant you are........and you always mount a personal attack...because you are unable to conduct an intelligent debate.
Are you on record stating that John Clarke (spell his name correctly, please) is a d*****ad ?

They formed SC because they saw big business (Federal Publishing) was going to screw them.

As an interim caretaker, Federal Publishing had already decided that EA was a goner.

Didn't stop Jim from joining Silicon Chip later, did it ? You are so ignorant of the motivation of the people involved in setting up SC.

Not supplying the source code to a microprocessor project is the same as not supplying a circuit in a conventional project.
That is because it is not illegal to import lasers, only laser pointers.

Most readers do not build the projects, they just read the mag. I could make an educated guess and pull a figure out of the hat, but it wouldn't even reach a single digit percentage for probably the majority of the projects. There are of course occasional exceptions for the very popular projects that find a real niche. I always found it funny how SC turned down my uWatch project because they thought "no one would build it". Turns out more people built it than all my other published SC projects combined. Bad call.
Ironically, some of their more technically impressive and large projects that takes ages to develop are likely the ones that would turn out to be the least popular in terms of number of people building it.
It's a tough game coming up with good and interesting projects every month to suit all tastes.

I declare Phil Allison should be President of this NG.
