This is a new feature in the FAQ. Listed here are individuals who
have expressed interest in helping others with hardware and software
problems for 8051 systems.
Does any one else out there think that they can help? Just let me
know what your areas of specialization are and I'll add your name to
the list. Thanks!
Dick Barnett
Specializes in 8051 (core processors), 80C552, and 87C751
applications.
Mark Hopkins
Mark is the author of the CAS assembler and of the 8051.ZIP
programs. He's now working on JOLT, a code generator with a
C-like syntax. His areas of specialization include:
multitasking, interrupts, basic stuff (like addressing, memory
spaces), the 8052 BASIC chip, interfacing the chip with external
inputs and outputs
Hans Schou
Hans is offering his assistance to users of the Standard
Microsystems Corp. COM20051. He's not an expert, but he has some
experience with it.
Neville Miles
Applications and programming the Intel 8051. He's also using
Atmel parts if you need help with these.
Steve
Steve has designed hardware and written software for the Atmel
AT89C1051, Intel 87C52, and Philips 87C751, and has also built a
programmer for the Atmel AT89C1051. He knows both hardware and
software.
