General readme.txt file:
========================

CD ROM version 1.7.0

This CD ROM contains Lite/freeware versions of three CD ROMs:

	* Assembly for PICmicros
	* C for PICmicros
	* Flowcode for PICmicros

For convenience these have been compresses onto this mini CD ROM.

These Lite versions all allow you to write programs in the appropriate language and transfer them to your development board. These Lite versions only operate with a PIC16F84. 

The Lite versions of  Assembly for PICmicros, C for PICmicros, and Flowcode for PICmicros differ from the full versions in several ways: each of the appropriate README.TXT files in the program directories on this CD ROM indicates what additional features/benefits can be had by upgrading to the full versions.

NOTE: MPLAB is required by ALL THREE products. MPLAB should be installed onto your system before installing the products. A copy of MPLAB can be found in the Plugins folder.

* E-Blocks - Datasheets and documents for the E-Block range of programmer and add on boards.

This CD ROM also contains the full working versions of a number of other PICmicro microcontroller resources:

 * PPP v3 - PPP PICboard download software (Version 3.3.6.17)
Allows you to program a wide range of PICmicros on the version 2 Matrix Multimedia PICmicro development board 

 * TEFWS - worksheets for sensors and actuators
Datasheets on the actuators panel and the sensors as well as exercises for you and your students to complete.

 * HPBUG - PICbuggy datasheet and Flowcode mimic for buggy 
A mimic for the Matrix PICmicro buggy that operated in the Single User version of Flowcode and assembly instructions for the buggy itself.

 * E-Blocks - Datasheets and other documents for use with the E-Block range of PICmicro microcontrollers products.

 * PICmicro development board - Datasheets for the PICmicro development Board.

 * HPROT - Prototype board datasheet
A datasheet for the Matrix Prototype board. Contains assembly and operating instructions.

 * Flowcode servos macro
A macro that allows multiple servos to be controlled from within Flowcode. 
This is useful when Alex animated head and Tecarm 6 are used in conjunction with the actuators panel.

The Plugins folder contains several plugins that are required by, or are used with the three courses.
