The MAX232 is pretty common for connecting both PIC and AVR devices to RS-232 equipment. It just needs a few external capacitors, which is nice. > A nerdy aside, I heard the 18F4550 and 18F2550 can run up to 12MIPs > from a 4MHz crystal, they've got a whopping 16K of flash, and they > have a Full-Speed USB v2.0 hardware. Yep. And 2kb RAM. Check out the data sheet page 11 and chapter 2. http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/39632b.pdf > Now if I could only run Linux on a PIC;) Linux? That's for the ETRAX, made by Axis. Check out http://developer.axis.com/ Everything-is-included Linux chip with 10/100 and both NOR and NAND flash for boot as well as storage. They've ported the GNU toolchain too. I'm still waiting for some project where I can use the MCM and end up with a few extra boards. :) //Peter _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list Linuxbios@clustermatic.org http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
