"This course will last from 1 June to 23 July. " This is a major blow, instead of focussing on modern variants of the 8052 with the great modern features like ISP, PCA, on chip SPI or I2C, PWM, ADC, DAC etc. you will be using a fossil, with no ISP and external RAM/ROM. Then your students will see the apparently whizzy feature set of the Pics and say "why are we using this old piece of crap, when the PIC offers so much more, what is the point of this course ?" Also, if you read the text here: http://www.pjrc.com/tech/8051...matic.html Its wrong... Actually, the 8051 has three memory spaces, 256 bytes of internal RAM, and two 64k byte external spaces, one for data and the other for executable code. The "data" here means variable data - Code memory contains fixed data and program code. Steve |
