I have no idea which chip you're using, or what analog circuitry (I/V, etc.) or digital circuitry is going to be necessary for said chip.

I'm not talking about all that much. It's easy to imagine people might want to use a LCD screen. (LVDS) It's easy to imagine someone might want this to be a touch screen. (UART? not sure which interface these typically use) It's easy to imagine people might want to connect the device to their TV/monitor. (HDMI) Many IC's use I2C and SPI People might also want to add a few hardware buttons, cheap 20x2 LCD panel, volume controls, and the likes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nullstring's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59166 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
