I am considering SparkFun's Logomatic v2, and maybe modifying its code via WinARM.? Does anyone have any experience with this, or rleated comments? Thanks, Ron...
Why not to use a multicore platform like the Parallax Prop? I guess it could really simplify the communication interface between subsystems? I am currently...

... I ordered a MOD5234, but it looks like the default quadrature decoder code in the eTPU has a max frequency of ~200Khz. 75Mhz * ~300 TPU clock cycles. This...
Jeff, The original version that you have will work, so I'd be thankful for it!? I hope to get to RSOH this week. Ron ... From: jws8675309 <jsampson@...> ...
Hi Bill, ... So, I'd like to find out how you would recommend arranging things? I happened to chose the first two digits from the E24 series, which gives me 24...
... I have three 4x6 drawer units with small 2 inch by 1-1/4 drawers. This gives me a 15 wide by 6 high kit. (34 inches by 8 inches total) I put the resistor...

The new XMEGA atmel 8bit AVR chips can do quadrature decode, also. But they seem to be only sampling... My (faulty) memory says that the TPU (from a 68k) can...
