Yus I agree the Arduino boot loader is irrelevant as it gets replaced. If Amforth can be persuaded to run on the chip (no reason why not it works fins on a 328) the other differences should be fairly trivial. Only way to be sure is to try it. If the cost of the board is a touch steep for a maybe,

I guess it would be possible. I am not aware of a currently available "Drop in" solution though. For hostile environments I would be more inclined to take an off the shelf or DIY board that already existed and put it into a Potting box (or Mould) with connectors on the ends. Then fill the potting

Hi Andy. I see. Do you think there could be an 'drop in' solution for an 1284 in a jumper box? http://parts.digikey.com/1/parts/290826-jumper-box-db25-male-db25- female-ab973-r.html Will it fit into the holes of the borad that is in there already? In such a box it would be a nice 'of the shelf

Michael I have yet to document and put up the board design I am using as it is a work in progress. The techniques I use to make PCB's at home I have already documented here:- http://aka47.adsl24.co.uk/serendipity/index.php?/pages/sspcb.html This is where I will also document the minimalist micr

Hi, I've understood that not everyone wants to use the full toolchain him/herself. So i changed my policy slightly from "publish only tested" to "publish that may work" ;=) > Hi, There is the atmega1284p available (128k flash, 16k ram, dil40) > - drop in replacement of 32, 64 - so quite sexy chi
