Post by thread:[PICLIST] [PIC] - an IEEE interface in a PIC?

Has anyone done a IEEE488 interface on a PIC? This is the bus for controlling instruments etc. I'm thinking of using it on a 3axis drill (for PCBs) that I made. Any comments?

John, I have looked into this and found alot of information. IEEE488 Driver IC's: IOTECH http://www.iotech.com ComputerBoards http://www.computerboards.com INES http://www.gpib2000.com MISC. Info: http://ftp.agilent.com/pub/mpusup/pc/iop/hpibtut/index.html (AGILENT "INSIDE" INFO.) http://www.ni.com (National Instruments has ALOT of info.) http://www.mot-sps.com (Motorola has an APP note on interfacing a DSP and a 68HC11) http://www.transera.com/htbasic/tutgpib.html (Tutorial and MISC. INFO.) http://students.washington.edu/gwl/phys434/gpib.html (Programming and using GPIB with C/C++). Using the chips you from NI, INES, ... etc. you can build a nifty interface. TI will give you samples at their website for the 75160 and 75161 IEEE488 driver chips to go along with the other chips. Best of luck!!!!!!!
