    dave do you ever sleep?

    About the project size, Of course we always hope somebody may want 1 besides us, at this point I am only focused on his and mine. For this I think pk2 is prolly best. I can even get him to buy his own!

    I will prolly dig a little deeper into the I2C method. In the future it would be best to have a single serial connection to talk to both cards. I am sure there must be a way to not need the serial analyzer to do this. even if its a special built card that does rs232<->I2c. power levels can come from the target


    yea Ubuntu!!!

    I guess I must be, I seem to need at least 4-5 hours now days.

    I got my cards in today So I will be building my cards tomorrow morning and hopefully start programming it.

    As my mind always does, I am already wondering to start thinking about an RS232 to I2c board. Anybody want in on getting something together?

    Might be an interesting project, but I have not used a bootloader yet of any kind.

    Well even if it weren't a bootloader, it seems like it could have value as an interface. Yet anoyher way to talk to the animals.

    Just a thought.

    Have a PIC receive data from the PC serially and squirt the same data out I2C ???
    That would be too easy.

    Default Small success

    I soldered all the smt parts on my card, uP,3311,12 volt driver, and LED's. and of course the ICSP header. Wrote a quik ASM to just turn the LED's on and off and LED's all work! This is a major milestone for me, this is my first dive into SMT.

    Next up on the list, do the same thing using PBP. Of coursethis means figuring out how to pull everything together, IDE, compiling and of course setup stuff for the chip. WOW what an exciting new road I am traveling on today!!

    Of course I have to post this kind of thing here, cuz you guys are the only folks I know that can appreciate these small feats.

    Thanks Walter, I was wanting to figure out how to include the other thread so to speak. There is heaps of good stuff in it, so I am glad its not buried in this one.

    Default ADD in full swing here

    Well, not that I need to be thinking about this yet, but in anticpation of "phase III" Anybody have any ideas for ram? I think I will be looking for at least 2-4K. The more the merrier. I do have scads of DDR sticks, that would be cool. Or I was thinking about SD cards, they would be way convinent. But at this point I am still just thinking.

    Pretty cool looking stuff that F-RAM. I ordered some samples of the 5V I2C 512Kb guys. From Mouser I can buy them (Ok, $11 each for these big guys) but free samples is free! I really doubt i need this big. The 64Kb (yes boys and girls - thats kilo-bit) are only $3.xx each in small numbers.

    Thanks Dave, now I can go back to finishing phase I
