< my completed project snipped> :-) Thanks Eric. I've got most of that stuff in my box, but probably not the crystal so I'll let you know in a few days if it works. ( unless you're going to build it for me as well !! :) Im not messing with generating syncs myself, I leave that to my vcr and a sync separator. Lazy I know. But I'll at least write a bit of code to do line and frame counting now you've done the hard work. > Email me if you need my address to send the check for consulting fees > and/or royalties. Just kidding. Obviously I wrote this up for the fun Well, next time I'm in you're area I'll drop round a couple of beers or something. :) Jon -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
