Oh, it's enough for what you want to do now. But ISTR a home switch + index filter, on the other thread. It can do that too, if pins can be found. But then there's the extra functionality we just have to have, when we're nearly finished. ;-) > In looking for something else (small h-bridge) I found this (and > ordered): > http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9147 > > There is even some code to use as a reference: > http://www.sparkfun.com/Code/AVR-Stick_v12.zip Ah, they use the USB frame timing to calibrate the on-board RC oscillator. I saw USB transmit code, but nothing for receive (i.e. for setting watchdog timing.) Ah, your last site has projects involving USB output. > http://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/projects.html The "small H-bridge" design I spotted there is another very low power example, using the L293D. I'd at the very least put some DPAK FETs on a PCB, instead. I'm not sure I'd trust the shoot-through provisions of one of those amateur designs. If not using half-bridge drivers with dead-time, the ATtiny26's timer1 has complementary outputs with dead-time fixed at one prescaler clock interval. However, if you want to do motor PID, then a reasonable swag of the 1k instruction space is eaten. Incidentally, the ATmega8 (used the same design) is old. The ATmega48 is a scalable replacement. > I feel a project cascade coming on. The trouble escalates when you succumb do doing "just one more design, with just one more layout" to economise on the shipping from the cheap PCB places in Asia. :-) Erik ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support?
