some ideas: * 9 button keyboard using ADC on a single pin, would drive a I2C or RS232 serial LCD * Simon kind of game * I wouldn't suggest to go for a BLDC controller for students as suggested above. Many things to know about motors in the first place, then sensorless control, etc. However, many RC simpler applications such as a 2 wheel robot using $5 rc servo and software PWM are certainly easy to do. * LANC <-> RS232 translator to control digital VCR and cameras. * Some software controlled wireless communication protocol that would end up wrapping all the glitches to accept/return a RS232 connectivity much simpler to the main uC or CPU. Kind of proxy 10F for a super-simple flavor of ZigBee or the like. * With two 10F, some IR or wired inter-uC communication (to end up switching on a led or the like) * Automated PC control simulating PS2 activity by just clicking on a switch on a 10F pin. Kind of pre-recorded key sequences. I would suggest more but then... I would ask for royalties. ;-) 2008/9/19, William Chops Westfield : > > > On Sep 19, 2008, at 5:40 AM, Wouter van Ooijen wrote: > > >> > >> Brushless motor speed controller e.g. for RC use, 1-2ms input pluse, > >> three phase output to motor. > > > > I am not familiar with RC motors, are 3-phase common? > > Yes, but not really in the size range where you'd need a 10F PIC. > However, people have put pretty much complete IR RC receivers in > a 10F (brushed speed control + rudder): > http://www.oyajin.jp/~toko/pic/0071/index.html > (amazing stuff.
