AVR-Chat

Hi Dean,

 

If you are doing your own boards and have a spare UART available, just use
one of the FTDI USB devices. Every time I have used one of these it just
works. I have read about people having so many issues getting USB in the AVR
to work and for me is just now worth the time or hassle. I have used them
with both USB powered devices and without. You can either use the COM PORT
driver or you can use the DLL and have a slicker control to the device.

 

Regards

Dave.

not sure which storage technology to use

Ok thanks guys,

I too plan just to use it for internal storage - it would not be accessible
to the end user without opening the case. Download would most likely me via
USB, but it seems the the XMEGA's dont feature USB.

Perhaps I should start looking at the AVR32 as the external memory bus would
also allow the use of SRAM as an option.
