Talking Electronics project and data books

[ChickenMan]

Thanks to Stephen M. for lending his collection of 15 TE books to be scanned.  All were A4 in size and varied from 24 to 100 pages with 76 paged being the majority.  All scanned at 300dpi and converted to searchable PDF's.

All were copyrighted and written by Colin Mitchell except for one by Ken Stone and were produced from 1983 to 1994.  Both have given their permission to release these in our Repository, so a big thanks to both.

While this collection is a great start to the collection, it is not complete as there are other known issues produced.  So if anyone else has any different one, we would love to hear from you.  The contents of each volume is vast and just to much to present here but their title will give a good idea of their contents. The Databook covers the COS/MOS B-SERIES, HS-C2MOS & 74HC00 SERIES.

There was also a 26 page document titled TEC TIMES dated 5/3/90 which was produced after Talking Electronics #15 and before the proposed #16 (which was never released). It contains a listing for the game SIMON, discussion and listing about SMON, Turbo Oscillator, Fast Forward programs, the 8255 PPI, crash proTECtor, JMON Perimeter Handler, 16bit compares, Serial routines for the TEC and an Error File. So lots to read.

So in the Repository in the Vintage\Talking_Electronics\TE_Magazines & Books folder we placed

2. A LED flashing circuit
3. A Flip Flop circuit to alternately flash two LEDs
4. A Fibre Optic project to create a miniature sign
5. A Simple Siren Project using a touch plate to raise and lower the tone
