Non-Existant chips? - chalma_juice - Aug 28 2:43:00 2004

I was finally able to afford one of the books I've been eyeing at the
overpriced bookstore (B&N), I get home and look through some of the
projects I would like to do and to my astonishment I can't find them
on digi-key. I resorted to google and found links to my book. I
know this is an AVR club but I am trying to boost my knowlege in 2
micro-controllers (the stamp and the atmel2313) plus my assembly
knowledge. Now the book that I bought was "STAMP 2:communications
and control projects". What caught my eye that I wanted to work on
was this section that had a keyboard to rs-232 serial converter.
which game me the pin layout to a ps2 keyboard and the schematic to
the chip. Would be nice if the chip existed to hook up. they called
it the K1EL PS/2 keyboard encoder/decoder. If any of you are
familiar with a similar chip or maybe a homebrew I would appreciate.
Another project I was interested (and probably need an upgraded avr
to process) was an video controller chip. THye called it the SVID
single-chip video controller from MVS corporation. I also had a
link "http://star.net/people/nmvs" (which is non-existant). If you
know of a similar chip (that is affordable, I don't want a $500
project) I would much appreciate it. My last request is that if
anyone has any free sites with understandable and downloadable
material for projects I would much appreciate it. I frankly am
getting tired of buying incredibly high priced books, the only reason
I do it is because they baby the writing so and idiot like me can
understand it.

check out www.avrfreaks.net ,they have cool examples and lot of resources.

I believe the K1EL PS/2 keyboard decoder/encoded used a PIC 16F84. I
think he had bugs and problems with it and it never did take off.

Take a look at his website:

Wow thanks for the links, all of them were very usefull. It just
boggles me how google gave me the old information rather than the new
information. Thanks again

Re: [AVR club] Non-Existant chips? - David Jones - Aug 29 19:01:00 2004

The problem with microcontroller books is that they are typically out of
date by the time they reach print.
There is so much info on the web these days that books are almost
redundent. A goog Google search should bring up plenty.

With the video are you talking about text on video?, if so then you
need the STV5730A chip.
There is a SIMMSTICK one here http://www.dontronics.com/dt108.html
And although I no longer support it, my version is here:
