Or rather MAX6674: http://datasheets.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/MAX6674.pdf One could just use a MAX6674, modify the number of clock bits and pin names in LTC1286.comp: http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/EMC2/serial_adc/LTC1286.comp Name it MAX6674.comp., comp it, three wires to a parallel port breakout board, hook up the pins and function in your .hal file and done. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
