Had to look that one up:? transformer read only storage?
Now that's how a real programmer writes his code.
None of this sissy IDE stuff.

My father worked at IBM during the days of core storage. I remember touring the Poughkeepsie plant and watching the cores being strung by hand under strong magnifying lenses and bright lights.

Re: SWR
Actually, JackAl has very little to do with my FDIM presentation, which is on homebrewing. The JackAl board will be shown at the Show-and-Tell, which I think is Friday evening.

Might as well publish your "JackAl" FDIM presentation, Jack. We can all "proofread" it for you.?

DuWayne's note was? ?/g/BITX20/message/47837? ?
We need a better indexing to find "stuff" with 2000 messages per month.?

Re: SWR
We're also using SPI on the 5" and 7" displays.

Re: SWR
As i recall from memory there are others in that series of MCP3xxx that have dual S&H and maybe 4 channels... and for some reason cheaper than the 3202? Maybe 3204? (Working without datasheets

Re: SWR
Bill,
Yes, that's much better ...MCP3202. Thanks !? I figure SPI is coming anyway because the little inexpensive (~$8) 2.8" TFTs are SPI and would make a great readout (and use existing 4 LCD pins

Re: SWR
Possible.
SPI interface, so 4 new Nano pins.? ? Could be OK if display goes to SPI.
Two channels but only one internal S/H.? However SPI is fast enough to ignore the lag between channels.

Re: SWR
I think the MCP 3202 is 12 bit w/ S&H and pretty cheap...

Re: SWR
Could maybe build a S/H from a 2n7002 and a cap, hard to beat the price.
Not sure it would perform very well, depends on the input impedance of your ADC?

Re: SWR
One possible alternative for a S/H ADC (12bit, 2 input, 2.5V input, 5V Vcc, etc) is the older ADC12130. Is there a newer and less expensive version out there ?

I spent many hours watching the IBM ladies from New York restringing cores on core memory planes at NASA and punched some new TROS tapes myself.

Re: Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me
Concrete is apparently conductive enough.
A really good ground can be had by tying into the rebar (steel reinforcement bars)
