Dear group, especially Andy/G4JNT,
Maybe a little out of topic but very useful for LF/VLF devices:
Programming microcontrollers.
Before some years i worked with some PIC controllers, assembler. But in
the German ham radio newspaper you rather find circuit examples
programmed on an Atmel device. Now i want to buy some software and
programming devices for microcontrollers and asking myselfe what i
should choose, Pic or Atmel. Maybe its a question like Windows or Linux? ;-)
My question would be what is the difference and the
advantages/disadvantages. Is there a preferred device for practical
purposes?
Examples for what i want to do with a Pic or Atmel:
-Programming a DDS VFO
-A/D / D/A conversion of LF/VLF signals
- Programming a beacon TX for 8970 Hz, directly driving a psuh-pull FET
stage
- Maybe a DCF-77 RX for generating a reference signal?
-Regulators for battery charging
-combinations of the above
and and and
I would be thankful for useful comments and hints.
73, Stefan/DK7FC
