Thanks Jan for your positive comments!

Good start, AVRs are well suited for tasks like this. (I hope I will not be expelled from here, is it a big sin to praise AVRs a bit? :-) Ha ha, you have the same mindset just like me. I will very carefully utter anything about AVR here! One more interesting post from AVR Freaks forum. One poster had asked there: We are seeing many new comers here saying that they are migrating to AVR from PIC, and many other 8 bitters, but we hardly find an 8051 user adopting AVR! Does it mean that they too are loyal to 8051, just like what we are with AVR, Nice question, is it not?! But I love 8051 for its simpler and very powerful architecture, especially the Boolean processing! All other 8 bitters add/append/modify more features to the 8051 core, and make a brand new family. Hats off to 8051 ! Jan said:
My finding is, that almost no free terminal program under win can correctly capture bigger amounts of serial data received at higher speeds. Yes, Jan, but what is the solution? Rolling out a program specifically for this, or doing some sort of processing in the Microcontroller itself?! Jan said:
I am eager to hear how did you proceed with this; sounds to be a promising way to a ultralightweight hobby-LA . Thank you so much for your interest. I shall keep you all updated with the proceedings. One problem with me(students) is, I really dont know when will 'academic' activities interefere: If some sort of tests/evaluations come in between the projects, then we have to reschedule. I wish that doesnt happen for the LA work. to Richard: I would surely settle out my own lab facility, when I start earning on my own, dear Richard. That time, I shall surely buy a scope, a logic analyser,... But currently, the budget is too tight! For an example, my monthly 'pocket money' is Rs. 700 (~$35), and think how long should I save money for getting even an used out equipement! Cheers, Vignesh |
