We're always interested in new tools, especially those that WORK, and have good support! BTW: I'll be mostly offline for the next few days.

If you want fast and easy, google WinQCAD. It outputs gerbers and CNC files. Probably the fastest to learn, espically as compared to Eagle. But, it will not win any Olympic medals. There are many programs that will out-do it, but it offers all the basics. Another one to look at i

Yes, go ahead. It can. In every AVRs there is an Slave Select Pin. The master should activate this pin on the slave to make it an active slave. Remember, only the master can initiate a data transfer. And make sure the max speed of SPI transfer is 1/4 of the system freq (master or

As Larry remarked, caps (for noise immunity) don't do much on the newer chips. The 4.7uf just seemed very large to me. Time to check power supply, & as always, check fuses. -carl At 01:02 PM 10/23/2004, you wrote: > I was using 100nF and tried 4.7uF. No luck. Same behavior. > > M
2004-10-23 by Larry Barello
Putting a capacitor and resistor on the reset line is archaic and doesn't do anything to improve the performance of the AVR chip. Period. It comes from the "classic" AVR days - and even then it was useless. You need a proper external reset chip for those processors. Any of the me

That 4.7 uf cap seems a little large to me. I don't know if there is a maximum rise time on the reset signal, but something in the .01 range might be more appropriate. -carl At 12:25 PM 10/23/2004, you wrote: > Hi, > > I'm having a weird problem with a Mega8 running on the >inter
