#102025 - Buy a devboard, they cost about $10. Responding to: ???'s previous message |
I\'d love to get ahold of one of those Silab chips to mess with though - but they are not in DIP and I just can\'t solder something that small
Buy a devboard, they cost about $10. Now, some are going to say \"that is not true, the cost $99 - up\" but it is. To use a SILabs chip, you need an EC2 and a cable and the cost of these comes to $10 less than a devboard that includes these items. Also, with SILabs chips and the EC2 and the free software you get ICE functionality which should be mandatory for anyone \"exploring\\\" the \'51. STAY AWAY from the f3xx series if you have any intention of using other \'51 derivatives, they have so many \"cute little differences\\\" that it will confuse the crap out of you. Examples: there is the RACP2 registers, but you will spend a long time finding them because they have different names. If you connect an oscillator to XTAL1 as any sencible \'51 developer would do, you blow the oscillator and the chip because of a \"cute little difference\\\" which is that for that series the input is XTAL2. All other SILabs series (so far) are derivatives with a \'normal\' set of differentiation. Erik I do not know what is happening, some "thinh" is inserting backsalshes before each and every quote I type. |
