Email received 30th March 2008	I have the 2008 version of your 'Experimenting with MPASM' book along with development board (P928 training course), and I would like to say how impressed I am with the whole product: the board has good funtionality and build quality and your books are lucid, thorough and follow a very constructed course. This obviously represents many hours of careful work. Well done!........ My degree course was electronic eng. at Southampton in 1975, but I took on a software final year project........ I began to specialise in developing test software for electronic assemblies........in 2005 I started to put my own kits together........I now want to improve the functionality of the controller........ So that is why after 30 years away from detailed design I am updating myself........ I would like to know if you would be able to help in the design........ Even if you can't, you are welcome to quote my comments as a satisfied customer all the best Tony (England) Peter Brunning replies........ Thank you for your comments, it is good to know that my work is appreciated. It is very seldom that I am able to get involved in the detailed design of other company projects. All I can usually find time for is a half hour or so of discussion to help in the general design philosophy.
Email received 20th August 2007	Peter Just wanted to say how pleased I am with the P927 PIC Training Course. Was a little dubious but as soon as I set the kit up I have nothing but respect, it is great, fun and enjoyable. The great thing is it is so easily understandable from the books! Can't endorse it enough ! best investment I ever made ! Many thanks ! Steve (England)
Email received 4th March 2007	Hi Peter, I have worked my way through your Visual C# package that was bought for me at Christmas. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I just can't leave it alone, it's certainly motivated & inspired me. I did a Visual BASIC course (previously) & really struggled with it. Visual BASIC is pretty useless for maths & graphics functions in my opinion. Kind Regards MC (England)
Email received 11th February 2006	Dear Peter, Just a short message to say that both parcels arrived safely on 10th February. I am most impressed with the quality both of the hardware and the manuals, as well as your approach to the teaching of the subject matter. I can offer no greater compliment than to say they are on a par with the original 'Applesoft Tutorial' which undoubtably was the main reason for the early success of the old Apple II computer...... Many thanks, R R (South Africa)
Email received 28th November 2005	Hello Peter, Thank you for the delivery of the PIC training & development system P801. I was pleased with the ease that the system set up and found myself into the course before I realised. I feel I must add to your list of E-Mail congratulating you on your PIC course. I have been teaching electronic systems for more years than I'm willing to admit and have found your course most instructive and interesting. Regards Peter H (UK)
Email received 27th September 2005	Hi Peter, Hope you had a great holiday. I forgot to get in touch after receiving your modules, another very useful book! and the modules help make sense of it all.. a great help. I now have a few circuits working exactly as I was hoping for, what an amazing chip the 16F88 is.. as you said. Thanks again. Kind regards, Russell. (UK)
Email received 29th March 2005	Hi Peter, Thanx for the response. It is really good to have an "expert" I can ask for help when the going gets real tough. I really appreciate you coming back to me as quickly as you did. After much design and testing with a scope I have decided to totally redesign my data transmission portion. I have changed to use interrupts and hardware flow control. Now the good time starts...writing the code and testing it. My first attempt early last week really showed my inexperience in modem comms but I have spent the weekend really testing every aspect I could dream up and am now confident I should get the results I am looking for. Thanx once again for the help. Best regards, Dave (South Africa)
Email received 28th April 2004	The Exp With PIC16F877 (serial edition) with programmer was received on 22.4.2004. Thanks for the very quick delivery................... Your study materials are the best anyone can get anywhere in the world. Thank you for the excellent work. Thanks and best regards Neville (Sri Lanka) Peter Brunning replies......Thank you for letting me know that the goods have arrived, and thank you for your good comments. It is satisfying to know that the work is appreciated. Neville purchased our original PIC training system in May 2001 and has now purchased the latest serial version. For customers who have our original PIC system we sell the latest version at 25 pounds less with just one book Experimenting with the PIC16F877.
Email received 30th March 2004	Hello, I received your wonderful learning kit about 3 weeks ago, although, it just came back into my hands. One of my colleagues "borrowed" it. He has high praise. The delivery was spectacular. Your learning kit arrived more rapidly than some electronic components I ordered at the same time from here in the US. Thanks, Ron (USA) Ron's PIC Training and Development System was despatched Thursday 26th February 2004 and arrived the following Monday 1st March 2004. But do bear in mind that delivery times vary according to the delay in USA customs.
Email received 1st March 2004	Hi Peter The board is great and the help you gave me on the phone was spot on. The low voltage programming was on. I had been trying to work out why RB3 on my 16F877 wasn't doing what I was expecting for a while before contacting you. Again thank you very much for your help. Many Thanks S D (Doncaster UK) Peter replies..... It is hard when I am given a problem like that out of the blue so it is good to know that I helped. Other readers may like to take note..... If you are given a PIC16F877 (or any PIC in that family) and RB3 seems to be faulty it may be that the previous owner has configured the PIC with low voltage programming turned on.
