Yes, its a challenge. After frequency, the next thing is "series or parallel". The normal processor crystal oscillator with two caps (whether external or not) is a "parallel". The ONLY difference in the crystals is the way the crystal is calibrated. If you choose the wrong one, i

Have you considered LED's? If they would work in your application, they'd be easier to prototype, respond more quickly and probably less expensive. Several times, I've thought about using a stepper as a Tach indicator, but the LED's response speed is too large an advantage. An RC

Bernd, those servos draw quite a lot of current - especially while they move, are we talking of some 200 mA or so - in that respect a classic ammeter would be the better choice I guess. Cheers, Gert Mueller ----------------------------------------------------------- Datentechnik

The reading and writing processes are similar in terms of the hardware requirements on the SPI bus. If you can read from the chip, you had to be able to write from the programmer's MOSI to the targets MOSI, and you had to be able to read from the target's MISO to the programmer's

If you are using SPI programming mode you shoud tie this pin to the ground. When /PEN is low, chip will enter SPI programming mode during reset. /PEN has no function during normal operation. Although I'm using JTAG programming mode, I'm keeping /PEN tied to Vcc anyways, via 10K r
