EPE Mag July 1998

Have you tried asking them?

well.

Hi, Alan Winstanley from EPEmag here, good to be on Usenet again. :-)

We still publish all our legacy PIC project codes on our old FTP site, it goes back to the mid 1990's. It was thanks to Usenet feedback that we decided to publish them for free at the time.

ftp://ftp.epemag.wimborne.co.uk/pub/PICS/

Unsure which one you want, maybe PIC Watering Timer.

As regards very old project articles, we don't mind if copies of old articles are swapped around amongst hobbyists for a specific project. It's nice when we're asked, but it's OK to ask in our EPE Chat Zone forum at

We didn't do PCB artwork PDFs that far back though.

Hope that helps

Spot on. Decided to go 'healthy' and start growing herbs (of the legal variety) and I know I'll kill them through lack of watering.

I obviously haven't dug deep enough.

I can probably get around that.

Thanks very much for you help and apologies for not finding your post earlier.

These are useful, cheap, and available off the shelf:

Thanks for the link but the design I was after was quite cunning. IIRC it measured soil moisture and automatically watered when needed. I think it also detected when the water reservoir was low and didn't run the pump as well as switching a heater. I've not found anything as good in the shops.

well.

May have this Practical Electronics, July 1998 but not pic code

A spot of googling revealed this:

Code is available on the ftp site still.

Bad form replying to my own post.... but: The FTP site address for the code is here: ftp://ftp.epemag.wimborne.co.uk/pub/8051

The site where I found the links:
