Who would PIC a 6 pin processor? | Piclist

A discussion group for the PICMicro microcontroller. Also called the Microchip PIC, this list is dedicated to the use and abuse of this fine, simple, microcontroller. Close to topic posts are welcome, ie. general electronics.

'Electronic Design' magazine says the 6 pin SOT-23 PIC10F series is out. :-) $.49 range. At that price and size, gets me to thinking about artificial neurons again, or a sophisticated game of life, or a LED flasher. Chad

The game of life sounds interesting! What a neat way to build the machine. I think each cell has 8 neighbors. A 6 pin device might me a little small. A 256 byte EPROM (if it was registered) would also be a neat way to do it. Gotta deal with the initial state... --- In , "Chad Russel" <chadrussel@y...> wrote: > 'Electronic Design' magazine says the 6 pin SOT-23 PIC10F series is > out. :-) $.49 range. > > At that price and size, gets me to thinking about artificial neurons > again, or a sophisticated game of life, or a LED flasher. > > Chad

Ya, you are right about 6 pins, trying to think of some way to poll your neighbors intead. With the way they are packing people into condos these days, you could have 26 neighbors. With memory, you could have a history to look back on also. I wonder if good and bad neighborhoods would develop? Have to add railroad tracks, so you could have a good side and a bad side of town. :p What about fractal image processing?? I don't think there is a AtoD available. :( --- rtstofer <> wrote: > > The game of life sounds interesting! What a neat way to build the > machine. I think each cell has 8 neighbors.

Only undocumented features. __________________________________

well it does have a comparator and presumably an onchip reference similar to the one on the 12f629. maybe that can satisfy your need for an a/d if speed and linearity aren't a big deal. i wish they had included some e2 on chip. jtm
