    I know one forum who have a 'improve your english' thread... not sure it this would worth to have it here

    I know my own limits, on the other side... i 'think' everybody understand what i say anyways.

    Even better, Darrel have it's own Canadian to English (or Mister_e to english) dictionnary
    http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/show...64&postcount=8

    Lazy? maybe... this is why i pay someone to translate and correct my Help-files and documents

    Anyways, i appreciate Trent's comment on Buyed VS. Bought. No problem at all.

    PS: J-P as in Jean Pierre ?

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Angry

    Jean Pierre ...

    To close the subject :

    1) you take the "Harrap's shorter" Dictionnary to the DO page ( p.240 for my edition ...) move to the 2 Thirds of the examples and find :

    " I do believe he is a thief : je crois VRAIMENT que c'est un voleur "
    Equals : I really believe he's a thief


    " he did go : Il y est BIEN allé "
    Equals : he really went there


    " do si down : allez vous vous asseoir ! "
    Equals : Will you sit down !

    " ... I do like tea : j'aime bien le thé "
    Equals : I really like tea


    What is against all the stupidities you are telling us !!!


    Would you DO enjoy : Apprécierais-tu Vraiment ...
    Equals : Would you really like ...?


    2) you forget I exist.

    3) you DO shut up : Tu t'écrases, à la fin !

    THANKS

    Alain

    Sadly, I can't say the same for everyone.

    Mainly for multiformat audio, image processing, video. Pretty sure it's fast enough to generate color video without too much effort.

    Since now i just updated some customer firmware and did some test. REALLY impressive, but... not something i would use daily.

    Did you use BGA or LQFP?
    How to mount BGA?

    I used both. Fortunately, i know someone in Montreal who can solder them for me with the right machine. I already tried with a heat gun... it worked.. but it's not something i would use for massive production.

    There's still some BGA socket.. but... hum hum, a bit expensive.

    see Mill-Max and Aries Electronics as starter.

    Did you use some of the pins, or all and make a 6 layer board to accommodate all the via's required to connect?

    Multilayer of course

    They also have some development board available ~400$.

    Which model do you plan to use?
