 		 #157156 - problem is in software
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hi Jay,
I read allmost all Yor posts and i understand:
- You do not want to learn mecorocontroller progrmming,
You prefer C or Basic as close to PC as possible.
- Yo want low cost (why - is not clear) AT89C52 is cheap,
but probably not good for task.
- You can, but do not build hardware platform.

Jay,google for C-programmable PLC or Basic programmable PLC.
For example:
http://www.rabbit.com/products/bl1800/
http://www.tibbo.com/em1202.php

If problem is to get lowest price for big quantity , then do:
- select software - easy, low cost, good for task.
Many PLC producers give software for free. Problem is how to implement new functions (bubble sort for example). Ladderwork from www.microshadow.com have such option , but is not free.
- select PLC hardware or build it, if You know how to connect to software.
- connect ADC and relays.

If You make single unit or prototype - build it around old DOS based PC without KBD and CRT . Later You will find somebody for mass production.
regards

            it does not, but            01/01/70 00:00      
      Anyone want to write simple program for chip for u            01/01/70 00:00      
         \"a few hours\"???            01/01/70 00:00      
         No as simple as you may think            01/01/70 00:00

   A Serial Flash chip would be easier            01/01/70 00:00      
   Specification?            01/01/70 00:00      
      what about a "community project"?            01/01/70 00:00      
         Has anyone offered complete C++ for 805x?            01/01/70 00:00      
            yes??            01/01/70 00:00      
               Subset            01/01/70 00:00

               16 temperature inputs, relay outputs.            01/01/70 00:00      
                  problem is in software            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Lets first choose a chip.            01/01/70 00:00      
                        how many are you going to make?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        It is not just a voltage            01/01/70 00:00      
                  We want to keep it simple            01/01/70 00:00      
         MicroManagement ...            01/01/70 00:00      
         Narrowing it down            01/01/70 00:00      
            More specs again            01/01/70 00:00      
               ATMEL AT89C52            01/01/70 00:00      
                  More hw info needed            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Ok. thanks            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Don't assume. Don't "let's say". Go specific!            01/01/70 00:00
