Re: How many I2C Ports?

The reality is that any protection can be broken and easily as well. For devices that store code in flash with a security bit a small amount of money and a little more knowledge is all hat is needed.

Re: How many I2C Ports?

Thank you for the links. I ordered some parts and they should arrive next week and then I'll build an instruction for talking to these devices. Regarding fixed time execution; I don't use it since it is wasteful of the CPU power. The cycle time has to be longer than the slowest instruction plus some...

Re: How many I2C Ports?

Pick and Place Machine 2

The LE40V arrived yesterday (Dec 18). The pick and place machine arrived as promised in a gigantic crate with the feeders, PC and the machine professionally packed.

Re: Who are you?

Thank you for your interest in our products. We are a small, new company, operating from San Jose, CA. I am an immigrant to the USA from South Africa (in 2000) and we are/were taught the King's English (or maybe it should be Queen's) so if I sound 'European' that may be the reason. The web site site...

EzSBC1 Price reduction

Starting yesterday the price on the EzSBC1 module has been reduced by $10-00 to $49-95. We aim to offer value for money and some users have suggested that our price was too high compared to competing products.
