Patrick, take a look at the AP7000 based on the AVR32. http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=642 http://www.ic-board.de/product_info.php?language=en&info=p75_ICnova-AP7000-Base.html http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32003.pdf Feb 26 - Mar 20: AVR32 UC3 Seminar Series (Not well published): http://www.atmel.com/corporate/corporate_event.asp Some new AVR's are going to be announced at the end of the month. I'm guessing the XMega series goes public. If you don't like AVR's take a look at the newer Zilog stuff, like the Zeno. Tools with compilers are reasonably priced <$100 unlike any of the Microchip tools, and the over priced Microchip GCC compiler. http://www.zilog.com/ -- http://www.wearablesmartsensors.com/ http://www.softwaresafety.net/ http://www.designer-iii.com/ http://www.unusualresearch.com/ _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
