Hi Folks -

Just a quickie here to let everyone know that the QuickieLab project =
website
is now fully posted and operational.  You can get there from the NJQRP =
home
page, or directly at http://www.njqrp.org/quickielab/

Many will recognize the "QuickieLab" as a project overviewed in the most
recent issues of QRP Homebrewer and QRP Quarterly by article =
contributions
from Joe Everhart, N2CX as well as by me.

The QuickieLab is a BASIC computing platform ideally geared for ham =
radio
experimentation.  It contains a BASIC Stamp processor, LCD for display,
keypad for numeric entry, frequency counter software, A/D converter, =
digitl
pots, switches, LEDs, a plugboard for custom interface circuits, and an
option for a plug-in DDS Daughtercard (which is also ready to be =
announced).

The QuickieLab web page has a great descriptive overview (actually a
coalescence of the three articles done thus far for the QRP magazines),
schematic, software "monitor" program, and a parts list so people can =
get
started right away.

N2CX already has several "application notes" posted on the web page to
illustrate how the QuickieLab can be easily programmed and used to =
create
some useful test & measurement accessories for the shack.

The NJQRP is selling the PC board *only* for this project, as there are =
many
different ways to cost reduce any given implementation one might wish to
make.  Of course the QuickieLab can be almost as easily constructed =
without
a PC board as shown in the initial prototype photos.

Our "I/O Expander (IOX) chip" is also used in the QuickieLab, as =
described
last month here on the Lists and also in the QRP mags. The link is there =
in
the QuickieLab pages to see more technical and ordering details for that
little gem.

N2CX will be giving a little more insight on his plans for the =
QuickieLab as
an experimentation platform for topics in his regular QQ column called
"Joe's Quickies" ... hence the name of this hardware platform being the
"QuikieLab" ;-)

Let us now what you think of the project and what you might intend to do
with it downstream.  We're very interested in continuing to make the
QuickieLab flexible and useful, with all software being posted to the
website for everyone's use.
