Hello Everyone, I recently inherited a design based on Infineon C167 microcontroller with Rigel Reads 3.1 software to program it. I have never done any microcontroller programming before and since this doesnt seem to be very popular microcontroller, there is not much I could find on the net. There were a couple of books on it but I believe they are in german only. However I have to work on i...

Hello all, Consider the atmega48 microcontroller by Atmel corp. I want to connects its USART to my PC. Basically i want the microcontroller to talk to to computer. How can i do this? 1. Using a serial port? 2. Can a build my own PCI/ISA card for the pc so that it can read from the uC and send the data to the computer where other devices can use the information? 3. Other options?...

Hi All, I would like to hear your input for the selection of a microcontroller used on a vehicle gudiance/navigation system. The vehicle is required to track a long range signal beacon (~30meters away). The requirement of the microcontroller is: 1) low cost 2) programmable in C and 3) easy to debug. I would appreciate any suggestions that you can bring. Regards, PQ

Please can i have your help? I'm confused about the following situation: A transceiver is connected in SPI mode to a microcontroller(LPC12xx). The transceiver outputs a continous clock ,and it does not drive any SSEL line to enable the SPI section of the microcontroller. The microcontroller should decide when to start a data transmission,but just enabling its SPI module it goes in Busy...

Hi, I am considering using an ENC28J60 to provide ethernet access for my project; however, I am required to build a separate board for my microcontroller. Can you guys suggest a microcontroller which is easiest (in terms of interfacing and coding) to use to drive the enc28j60? I looked at PIC because they offer royalty-free tcp/ip stack code but I'm not familiar with them I don't even know if a se...

Hi all, I seem to be stuck with what seemed a very simple task. I want to convert a Simulink model with one input and one output to a C program that I could run on a microcontroller (any microcontroller, not only those TI chips on those development boards). It should be able to read some data from a ADC, do some processing (as defined by the model -- amplify/multiply by 2 is a fine st...
