Hi all, I am designing a system in which a number of 12F629 PICs (more than 30) will be connected to a simple serial (like SPI) common bus. The total length of the bus can be more than 3..10m and the transmission rate will be relatiively low (say 1kbps). I am wondering what sort of bus drive IC would be recommended? I was thinking about 74126 or something like 40107. Thanks for comments and suggestions Janusz -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
