In this series of newsletters we will offer tips and tricks on how to design electronic gadgets using microcontrollers programmed in mostly BASIC but also occasionally in C language or assembly language.

What is CHIPs?
CHIP stands for Chuck Hellebuyck's Intellectual Property. In other words all the years of knowledge I gained from designing electronics that is built up in my head is now available one newsletter at a time for my readers to review. They can then do what they want with the information. Of course it has a double meaning; the newsletter is always about microchips or microcontroller based projects. It's not just my ideas though. I will occasionally include an article from a colleague or other contributor that I think the readers of this newsletter will enjoy.

How often is CHIPs sent?
I plan to offer a new CHIPs column every month. If I'm inspired it may come more than once a month. 

What does CHIPs cost to subscribe?
Zero.

Can I advertise in CHIPs?
Initially I don't plan to offer outside advertising but eventually I will be offering space to venders who want to advertise to the CHIPs audience.

When does CHIPs officially launch?
The official launch is January 2010 but this introduction kind of launches CHIPs. I just cannot guarantee CHIPs every month until January. 

Will back issues of CHIPs be offered?
Yes. I plan to have a limited list of back issues for those that sign up.

 What do I need to do to subscribe to CHIPs?
You just need to fill out the online form to subscribe. You can also unsubscribe at any time at the link published at the bottom of every CHIPs newsletter.

 I hope you will enjoy reading CHIPs as much as I enjoy writing it. See you in the future editions of CHIPs!
