Curiously - I have a practical application for this idea. We have a farm, where there is one outbuilding used twice a week for meetings (summer and winter), a workshop that is used by a part time mechanic, a boarding dog kennels for up to six and a house that is split into two flats. The whole...
can microcontroller be a master
One nice thing about PIC chips is that they can be easily synchronised - run them on the same clock source and the same reset signal, you can write code that works in parallel. I had a situation where I used 3 PIC 18F devices, two were between them transmitting...

All Mikroe PIC based boards support PIC16 chips with GLCD, and there installation disks include examples for 16F877 and GLCD. Full support is provided through their proprietory languages as well.
The Oshon sim also provides GLCD support from BASIC, including simulation of...
Did it with a PIC 18 chip - this provides a 32 or 40x24 PAL mono text display, and a degree of graphics capability through character pattern redefinition (on the fly). Control of the display can be via serial or parallel interface and the whole circuit is based on the PIC chip plus two...
Thanks echo47.
I did have a serious bash at the xilinx stuff last night, and have made some (slow) progress..... I'll carry on for a few days and see how I get on! Yes, I had already seen the fpga4fun site, but I'll take another look.
Cheers, D.
Thanks, I looked at them a few months back, but I'm not looking for a project board or modules - just simply to incorporate a device into an existing design. :|
I need to re-design an existing circuit to seriously reduce chip count and implement some new functions. The existing design is all in standard 74HC series logic. I'm looking at the possibility of experimenting with CPLD or FPGA as a solution, but I'm limited by the fact I can only realistically...
