So I decided to make one Of all the test gear I have, the one which I find tends to be of most help debugging and solving problems is the logic analyser. At one time I had just a cheap 6MHz scope, and realised very quickly that an analyser is essential when working with micros. I built my first one based around a 68HC705 and SRAM. The next used a 20MHz 16F84, PLL and ex- mobo fast cache RAM. Both of those uploaded to the PC via serial. The current one is a 16-channel USB. Each has been invaluable in its time, and a good spec analyser is not difficult to DIY if you have logic chips doing all the donkey work Joe --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
