Hello, I'm trying to interface to a FT2232D USB chip using VB and the FTD2XX.DLL. I can program the part description using MProg3.0a and then get what appears to be a valid handle to the device using FT_OpenEx, but when I try writing some bytes out using FT_Write I do not see any pin stimulation from the chip. Anyone have any experience with this? I have the EEPROM set to 245 FIFO mode....

Hello, I am relatively new to the 68HC12 (about 5 months) and I'm using it in a project that I've been working on. I know that the 68HC12 has an external addressing scheme that will allow one to reach 1MBytes worth of data. My question is this: What types of external memories are available? I have found an I2C 1Mbit EEPROM and some SPI flash memories, but nothing near 1MBytes that I ...

I'm building an AVR-based machine controller for a customer, and he has asked if I can make the unit upgradable from a PDA. The end-user wants to read/write EEPROM setup data from a handheld device (they're currently choosing between Palm or WinCE) and for this purpose I added a serial port and simple comms protocol in the original design. Now he wants to be able to upgrade the firmware over ...

For production of measurement probes, we need to store calibration data on them. Because of the limited number of connections, the 1-wire memories look like good candidates. For now we need at least 16kbit of storage which should be eprom or eeprom. The only suitable device from maxim therefore seems to be the DS2505 with 16kbit eprom. (the larger ones are serialized 'uniqueware' devices). In...

Remember the days when EEPROM emulators were being used as a way of getting the code onto the target and executing the code on the target. I was wondering if there is an equivalent for data flash which uses today's popular protocal such as MMC style, SPI, I2C, microwire etc. Any pointers would be handy. Thanks in advance.
