I spoke to a guy a couple of weeks ago who had used one in a design, the only thing he mentioned was that you should follow the timming diagrams very closely. I'm going to be using one in the near future, in what way do you find the data sheet vague?

The data sheet for the device is a bit vague, considering the chip's complexity. I'm going to use it to overlay basic vehicle information onto the headset video display for my remote vehicle project. I've designed and built a power FET H Bridge driver for the 7.5A steering motor and it is controlled by a slave 12C672. I hope to try it out today some time, so if my next post is all black, the thing went up in smoke :-( If it works ok, I'll post a basic schematic to my web site. -- Best regards Tony http://www.picnpoke.com mailto:sales@picnpoke.com
