Yep. > Can you give examples of suitable uCs for a task like this? All Scenix SX series. http://www.scenix.com/ Many of Microchip's PIC line. Watch which Pins you hook the LEDs up to, some in the line have higher mA handling that others, and not all pins on a chip can handle the same I/O currents. Many Motorola MCUs also have high enough pin IO currents. Both the PIC and Motorola CPUs would be easier to work with because many of them have built in RS232 compatible serial IO. The Scenix SX18AC and SX28AC don't have serial ports but can bit bang a serial port in software quite easily without using up much CPU cycles. -- | Bryan Andersen || http://softail.visi.com | | Buzzwords are like annoying little flies that deserve to be swatted. | | -Bryan Andersen | -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" to
