Project documentation:
Up-to-date documentation will always be maintained here.
The current S/C encoder version is 'N' and anyone needing to update can simply return the pic chip for reprogramming
but please include a stamped, self-addressed bubble-wrap envelope.

I've moved the old, superseded projects lower down the page. Nothing has been deleted, just rearranged!
