Knowledge Base

Welcome to Protean Logic's knowledge data base. We have gathered information here about our products, others products, electronics, and anything which has proven to be of value to our customers. Follow the links to find the topics you are interested in, or use the Eye Glass Search at the top right of each page to search the "knowledge area".

If you have anything to contribute to this collection, please contact us and we will see if we can share it with everyone else. Happy hunting.

The major categories of the knowledge data base are listed below:

• Product Data Sheets - Collected technical information about Protean's products.

• Electronics - Theory, Tutorials, and Reference.

  • White paper on the emerging trend of using upper level language microcontroller for rapid design implementations and related subjects.
    

• Micro-controller - Theory and Tutorials. We try to answer the question, "What is a micro-controller".

• Programming - Theory and Tutorials with emphasis on FBasic.

  • FBasic overview as implemented on the TICkit micro-interpreter

  • FBasic Annotated Coding Samples. Good brief introduction to FBasic.

  • Structured Programming especially as it relates to the FBasic language. 

  • Converting PBASIC code to FBasic. - General guidelines.
    

• Circuit Construction - Practical hints on things like soldering, PCB layout and manufacture, making enclosures

• Model Rocketry - Thanks to a public series of articles on a rocketry altimeter done by Jeff Karpinski, we have a relatively large following of rocketry enthusiasts. This link features the edited series and some supplemental information.

• Power and Energy - This link is devoted to power information. Things like solar energy systems or battery backup systems.
