Since so many projects seem to be using programmable logic, I decided to try my luck in replacing glue logic for my project.

Picked up a Verilog programming textbook from a local university, but was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on a good general purpose devices?

I am thinking Xilinx ...

So long time no see. Life got severely in the way. Have a step-daughter, and ex-live in, now a wife, and two kids of my own LOL. :shock:

Was going over my notes for what I wanted to build, and been trying to map the memory of the board, so far I have it down to the two attachments. Logic wise it ...

No problem BDD, no harm was done.

Anyways not trying to get political, but things in China have changed greatly the last decade from what I hear from my fellow students who have visa's to study here and the girlfriend who has her entire family back home, including a brother that went back this ...

China also has a repressive, brutal government and treats its people as an expendable resource. The USA's suicide rate may well be 11 times that of China (I'd like to see the source for that statistic) but at least it isn't due to being treated like cattle heading to the slaughterhouse.

Foxconn is getting up to 300,000 robots to replace humans in the manufacturing of products because of worker's rights violations, suicides (workers can't talk to one another), and exposure to chemicals.

Foxconn's suicide rate is less then the rest of China. 14 employees for almost a million of ...

I have a website with Google.

http://www.northerndtool.com

They charge me for the name registration every year, but the site itself is free.

It is not bad, and its aliken to a word processor input (unless you want to use the HTML it offers) so it doesn't take too long to put up a website.

You ...

What is the 6541?

André,

But if you replace it with a AVR how else are you going to play with your favorite video games you grew up with on the C64 or Apple 2?

The Arduino Uno went from a FTDI chip to the Atmega8 to bridge the USB to UART connection.

The code is available here if you wish to work with that as a basis.

Talking from the Arduino, pretending to be something else, I can make the system think I am any link of the puzzle. and in the video you'll see me working as the console I somewhat proudly display as disconnected from the system.
