That's why : http://freudhoefer.de/File_Share/Vince/PICT0002.JPG It's a hobby/amateur project, so I use a prototype board to develop the hardware, so I am limited to through-hole technology, meaning DIP packages for everything. I don't have the soldering equipment for surface mount components, and with my big fat fingers I probably wouldn't be succesful with it anyhow ! ;-/ DIP packages also give me headaches, as I need a large (8 or 16 Mbits serial data Flash memory), operatiung at 5 volts, and nothing is available ! Grr... > I haven't seen an ATmega1284P in DIP yet at all, Well Atmel lists them and Digikey sells them in tubes of 290 pieces, so they are there ! > [..] but it's possible they aren't in full production yet. Yeah, I hope production will rise so one can find them at Farnell or RS, and preferably not in tubes of 290 pieces... -- Vince _______________________________________________ AVR-chat mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-chat
