    micro computer. You can use it to write programs in BASIC for home
    automation, robotics, or to log external events. You can even use it
    as an Alarm Clock. While similar in performance to a timex sinclair,
    it runs at about 20,000 statements per second which probably about as
    fast as a pic basic compiler, and far exceeds the processing power on
    an ordinary stamp.

  • Serial PIC'n - is a
    comprehensive book, which details various methods for implementing
    serial communications between a Microchip PIC microcontroller and an
    external device. Asynchronous serial communications is covered both
    by using an on-chip USART and by "bit-bang" methods. The RS-232
    standard is explained. A discussion of synchronous serial
    communications includes the I2C (Philips Semiconductors), SPI
    (Motorola) and Microwire (National Semiconductor) protocols. The
    Dallas Semiconductor 1-Wire bus is also described. Many code examples are included as modules, which will provide the basis for the
    reader's own PICmicrocontroller applications. By Roger Stevens (520
    pages, 8-1/2 x 11" softcover format).

    Project by Gabriele Boschi, DAIMI/DIEM Arhus-Denmark Abstract -The SMI is a configurable MIDI interface for converting analog and discrete signals into MIDI messages. Gestures, movement and actions executed by the performer or people visiting the art installation are captured by different kind of sensors (light, traction, temperature, pressure, touch, rotation etc) and then translated into data stream for a generic sound processor or
    synthesizer. The main target of SMI is to create interactive and creative sound spaces where various sensors can be placed all around. Furthermore it can also be used as a unique virtual instrument that acquires great variety of physical units.

This chip has been proposed for peripheral cards that transmit data to the mainboard only but there is an ongoing discussion as to whether the above chip SN74AHC373 could do the job. Your opinion to the list please.

  • http://www-s.ti.com/sc/psheets/scls230h/scls230h.pdf - Data sheet for OCTAL BUS TRANSCEIVERS WITH 3-STATE OUTPUTS - SN74AHC245. This chip has been proposed for peripheral cards that transmit and receive data with the mainboard but there is an ongoing discussion as to whether this chip should be used for all three cases of peripheral card to and from mainboard communications. The issues are complexity of wiring vs standardisation of parts and technologies. Your opinion to the list please.
