The Robotics Workshop

I have decided to start posting all my knowledge and works on the internet. You can visit this by clicking the, "The Robotics Workshop" link, or the graphic above. It isn't nearly complete, and may never actually be complete. It is one of those things you just keep adding to forever.

I have been working a lot with my new ZX-24a microcontroller and am starting to realize the advantages when compared to the BS2. Don't get me wrong, the BS2 is great and has it's place too.

There are several advantages of the ZX over the BS2. They are listed below:
- Multi-Tasking Capability
- Speed (much faster than BS2)
- Extremely Flexible Programming Language
- Ability to create modules (don't have to put all code in a single file, as with the BS2)

There is a much larger learning curve with the ZX over the BS2, but it is well worth it. By learning Zbasic, you are forced to understand the science/math behind much of the electronics. This isn't necessarily the case with Pbasic. Pbasic makes things much simpler, but with simplicity, flexibility is sacrificed.
