Post by thread:[EE]: Circuit Cellar Contest

A few of the advantages I see are the following: ~4x the speed of a PIC for a given oscillator frequency All AVR's can be programmed using the "Sample Programmer", a simple 5 wire connection to the PC parallel port 'unlimited' stack depth on AVR's with onboard SRAM. The stack can expand to fill the entire unused memory (not that I would recommend it!) > {Original Message removed}

Liam Said: : The stack can expand to fill the entire unused memory (not that I would recommend it!) hmmmm, overflowing stacks... Reminds me of my Nascom-1 days (1979).. User RAM started at $0C80 and went up to $0FFF Stack started at $0FFF and went down to $0C80 :( More than once unfortunately.... In those days i found that each screen line was 64 bytes, but displayed only 48 chars wide, + 2 for the 0x00 borders left 14 bytes for code... less 3 for the jump to the next line gap meant a whole extra 11 bytes for code per line = 176 bytes total. added to the whole 895 bytes between $0c80 and $0fff that was like well over a whole K for my programs. :) Only problem was, if you wrote to the bottom right hand corner of the displayable screen, the whole thing would scroll up. It made a big mess of your program. It all became ,much better when I saved up for two months to buy the 64k (<-- K ) RAM card and made my own Nasbus interface for it.. I think there is still an old Nascom-1 in the attic of my old house - in the original wooden framed case i made for it. Z80 Nostalgia hmmmmmm. Jim -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?

Philip, I was asking about ZILOG?s Test drive kit. But one hour after sending the email, was receiving the kit. Very, very nice. -----Mensaje original----- De: pic microcontroller discussion list [RemoveMEPICLISTTakeThisOuTMITVMA.MIT.EDU]En nombre de Philip Pemberton Enviado el: viernes, 23 de abril de 2004 14:12 Para: spamBeGonePICLISTspamBeGoneMITVMA.MIT.EDU Asunto: Re: [EE]: Circuit Cellar Contest In message <TakeThisOuTNGBBKBNFCNHILICHKCADEEJJEFAA.gcaffeseEraseMEspam_OUTHotPOP.com>> Gabriel Caffese <RemoveMEgcaffeseTakeThisOuTHOTPOP.COM> wrote: > Does anyone who signed for the "Test Drive Kit" received > it yet ?

No, I did not. But Kit has arrived, so you should receive yours soon.
