I am a regular subscriber of ComputerCraft. Quite honestly, it did not
impress much. Basically, the magazine gives two to three simple circuits
diagram and discuss the performace without going into detail analysis. Very
little mathimatical explanation and the circuits they put in the magazine
are usually available as kits which the author name at the end of the artical.
Sometime, the magazine run bigger circuits in several issues, but again
with very little explanation of the theory and math.
ComputerCraft talks mostly about intel microcontroller. Sometime, an
artical or two show up on 68HC11. Otherwise, the magazine talks about
Zilog microcontroller if not intel micontroller.
My subscription is expiring and I do not plan to renew it.
