Arduino no delay timer and counter functions
April 4, 2012, 10:18 pm
I wrote a couple of functions that work similar to PLC timers and counters.
When the condition comes true, they time to the preset value and turn on a
done DN bit. I used Allen Bradley PLC timers as a general reference.
Anyway, you can have all y... Read more »

lowest cost - low pin count flash 8-bit microcontroller
December 14, 2009, 2:06 am
I need to control an RF transmitter IC, through a SPI port.
It looks like the PIC12F508/509 is the ~lowest cost 8-bit Flash
microcontroller available. Digikey show this at $.78 for one and
$.55 in volume.
Is there any similar controller that cost... Read more »
