Hello Everyone,I recently inherited a design based on Infineon C167 microcontrollerwith Rigel Reads 3.1 software to program it. I have never done anymicrocontroller programming before and since this doesnt seem to bevery popular microcontroller, there is not much I could find on thenet. There were a couple of books on it but I believe they are ingerman only. However I have to work on i...

Hi All, I would like to hear your input for the selection of amicrocontroller used on a vehicle gudiance/navigation system. Thevehicle is required to track a long range signal beacon (~30metersaway). The requirement of the microcontroller is: 1) low cost 2)programmable in C and 3) easy to debug. I would appreciate any suggestions that you can bring. Regards,PQ

Please can i have your help?I'm confused about the following situation:A transceiver is connected in SPI mode to a microcontroller(LPC12xx).The transceiver outputs a continous clock ,and it does not drive any SSEL line to enable the SPI section of the microcontroller.The microcontroller should decide when to start a data transmission,but just enabling its SPI module it goes in Busy...

Hi, I am considering using an ENC28J60 to provide ethernet access for myproject; however, I am required to build a separate board for mymicrocontroller. Can you guys suggest a microcontroller which is easiest(in terms of interfacing and coding) to use to drive the enc28j60? Ilooked at PIC because they offer royalty-free tcp/ip stack code but I'mnot familiar with them I don't even know if a se...

Hi all,I seem to be stuck with what seemed a very simple task. I want to convert a Simulink model with one input and one output to a C program that I could run on a microcontroller (any microcontroller, not only those TI chips on those development boards). It should be able to read some data from a ADC, do some processing (as defined by the model -- amplify/multiply by 2 is a fine st...
