Post by thread:TI 320 Demo Board

> Have you considered learning a little DSP with TI's $99.00 320 demo > board? I seen ads all over but haven't made that leap yet. I bought one of these a few years ago with the TMS320C26 on it. It was very easy to hook up and use, and I definately got my money's worth out of it. It's got a mono A/D and D/A. I think it samples around 8 kHz or so, but I won't swear to it; it's been over a year since I used it last. It will implement real-time audio spectrum analyzers, and VERY nice FIR/IIR filters. I've done some basic adaptive filtering that turned out pretty good for an amateur! If you want to play around with DSP, it's got the power to do a lot, and you can't beat the price. I think they've come out with more demo kits for even less money in the last couple of years, too. Ray Crampton KN4SK spam_OUTrcramptonTakeThisOuTgtc.itt.com

The memory is really limited and the instruction set of the c25/26 is, in my opinion, terrible. However, texas has a new DSK with a c3x on it and that is a much nicer chip. (32 bit and floating point). Also Analog Devices has a DSK for one of their chips with 32K on chip ram and stereo AD at 48 KHz for $89.
