Hi Mark, As you're in the UK go to your local Maplin shop, in the July 1997 edition of the Maplin Magazine they published a project using the CXA1645 Encoder I/C. The article gives a full circuit diagram, and you can buy a complete kit, or just a PCB. As with most projects in these magazines, there is a decent discription and nice large! diagrams - including the alterations for NTSC operation (for those unfortunates who have an inferior TV system :-), should provoke a reaction from the USA PICLIST members!). The full kit is order code LU74R, priced at £25.49. The PCB is order code GJ12N priced at £4.49. The magazine should still be available, either through the shops, or via mail order from their head office. -- Nigel. /--------------------------------------------------------------\ | Nigel Goodwin | Internet : nigelg@lpilsley.demon.co.uk | | Lower Pilsley | Web Page : http://www.lpilsley.demon.co.uk | | Chesterfield | | | England | | \--------------------------------------------------------------/
