I just noticed a new product that Philips has introduced: A Parallel bus I2C controller http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/pip/PCA9564.html I can see how it would be really easy to turn this thing into an SPI-I2C controller with only a few shift registers. Comes in SO-20 so it's moderately easy to mount. --Brendan -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
