pic18f projects
Hi to all
After the successful completion of the Project to replace CY7C64613 in the ICD2, I am thinking for the possibility to start a new project in order to build a data acquisition system based on PIC18F4550. As a final application I have in my mind a home build oscilloscope. Based on same calculations that I made, I concluded that with the use of the on board 10bit A/D converter module, a sampling speed of 50KSamples per second is possible. This is nothing impressing but as a starting point I think is OK. In a later stage the use of an external A/D can be evaluated. I think that the big advantage of PIC for the specific application is the versatile methods that offer for the PIC<->computer interface. Starting with the traditional RS232 (up to 115.200B/s) and end up with full speed USB (1.152.000B/s for full speed isochronous with 32byte payload).
Waiting for your comments
Regards Nick
