Re: [PIC:] ICD2 and HS-PLL mode

Thanks for the suggestions!

It looks like I made a "software guy" error in thinking I could replace
a 20Mhz crystal with a 10MHz and not change the caps.  The guy that did
the board design had 18pf caps and it would appear that the 10MHz
crystal won't work with them.

That would suck.. I couldn't find anything in the docs to that effect
but you never know.  I reckon I'll find out when I get the crystal
working.

thanks,

Looking at the programming info, there is no BOD at all in the config
bits.

I want "as fast as one can reasonably do" :-) - a major application for me
is camera card data transfer. The faster the better. The Phillips ICs I
mentioned would be a good start

[PIC:] Picall

Anyone know where I can get a firmware chip for the Picall programmer? I've been in contact with Bojan and he
can supply one for $US12.00 CASH, but since I live in New Zealand that makes it a bit difficult.

     
     Regards Neville...

[EE]: Building a 40' parallel cable.

        Are there any tips/tricks to building a 40' parallel cable.
We (the Louisville Astronomical Society) have a CCD imager with a
parallel cable interface, and we'd like to run all of the cables back
to the office space in our observatory.  Any noise leaking in would be
a painful issue.  We'll be running the cable through about a 1"
conduit in the floor.  Any advice on type of wire, gauge, shielding?
TIA.

Can you put a cheap computer near the camera, and LAN it back in?

"long" and "parallel cable" don't really go together, especially when you add "low noise" and "inexpensive".

[BUY:] MC145027P chips *Australia*

I want to buy a tube or two of MC145027 within Australia.
Some are on the way from USA but I need some before then.

Interesting...like a hard-soldered lithium battery?

That could be an interesting thought.  Data backup isn't crucial, though.
I can afford to lose a little bit.

I think I am going to have to put in some kind of voltage follower, since I
really should check the battery voltage during the flash write cycle.  The
power draw peaks up near 35 mA during that...

Thanks for the ideas!

Well, not too bad if you keep it at DC kinds of frequencies.  Really, the
computer/LAN idea is a good one.  Another possibility is computer/WAP,
although 40 feet of CAT5 really isn't a big deal.  But the wireless is
probably cheaper if you have to pay someone to run the conduit.

If this is parallel at the sorts of rates that parallel printer cables use,
40 feet is pretty unrealistic.  Noise pickup will be a big deal, and while
shielding can do some good, on longer lines it's not going to be perfect.
Capacitance is probably an even bigger deal.  Low capacitance,
multiconductor, shielded, plenum cable is breathtakingly expensive, and not
a guarantee of performance.  The computer/LAN is likely to be cheaper,
simpler, and a whole lot more reliable.
