    What is the difference between rms and pmpo?

    how can calculate pmpo to rms Another definition of PMPO:- Watts(RMS) multiplied by the ratio of marketing people to engineers involved in the project. Jim

    Driving bipolar stepper with uC

    (Only just spotted this) These circuits are poorly designed, and certain to let the smoke out. In the top circuit, if the inputs are left open all the transistors will be on at once. BANG! The bottom circuit has the same problem, and also lacks base resistors for the lower trannies. Jim

    Looking for a book for AVR programming in Assembly language

    Re: avr I can't suggest a book off the top of my head, but for assembly programming http://www.avrbeginners.net is a good start and http://www.avrfreaks.net is the place for all things AVR. Good luck and have fun. Jim

    What are the advantages of AVR over PIC microcontrollers?

    Re: avr vs pic It comes first in alphabetical lists. Seriously, this subject has been done to death. Try a search here and on google. Jim

    control the brightness by PWM

    There is no need to low pass filter the pwm in this application. A digipot is also unnecessary, and wasteful. All that is required is a PWM output, a transistor or FET if needed for max current required, and a resistor to set the maximum current through the LED. To the OP, it is difficult to...

    Cheap method for SPLD programming

    Re: SPLD programming For software go to www.xilinx.com and search for WebPack. A google search for Xilinx JTAG will find information on programming hardware. They can also be bought cheaply on ebay. Jim

    Cheap method for SPLD programming

    spld programmer For programming SPLDs you could look at GALBLAST. http://www.geocities.com/mwinterhoff/galblast.htm . But I would suggest using CPLDs. Xilinx has the XC9500 series, and Altera has similar. Software for these is free and programmers are very cheap or easily made. Jim
