All,
Finished my MSEE about 7 Yrs ago. Back in my undergrad, I took a course with the Motorola HC6811 E series. My job has little to do with embedded control so I've been out of the loop for some time - mostly Matlab/C++ software development these days. I want to play around at home and build a small temperature data acquisiton system and controller. - Control motors, solonoids, aquire data, store it and then periodically transfer it to a PC - via USB? CAN? Serial.
My Question:
What's current? What would you all suggest as a cheap way to implement a one-off system to do the above? I've got my old 6811 Eval Board and documentation but I wouldn't mind spending some time getting current. Can I get back into it for around 50$? Any help or direction is appreciated.
