When an LED has a “light degredation” specification, does that means it's an OLED? Thanks! I'll try limiting my purchases to those "top 6ish" suppliers. |

Need details on 35-year old Unisonic VFD (from a calculator) Photos: mycalcdb.free.fr/main.php?l=0&id=2688 Tony, unfortunately it isn't, it's a single cylindrical tube with about 10-15 wires coming out of one side: The Unisonic 790R (not to be confused with the 790RM, which has a different display) seems very close in design, based on the photos. |

Need recommendations: low-cost ATMega (Arduino/Teensy) solution for keyboard converter Was I disagreeing? I thanked Olin for his well-founded recommendation, and point out that the 4.30 cost I found for the 18F2550 online is well under the $5 price target (it includes the USB functionality that requires an extra chip on the Atmel chip used in the Arduino). I only plan to make 10 prototypes, but want to be prepared if 1000 people want one (For the record, I did join the November Beard Club at work, but Boston was so hot this winter I shaved it by February). |

Need recommendations: low-cost ATMega (Arduino/Teensy) solution for keyboard converter Thanks @OlinLathrop for the tip about the PIC 18F2550. I agree that the cost of a PIC programmer will be "lost in the noise", though the component cost will still be important. The initial firmware will be leveraging existing Teensy code that already does AppleDestopBus to USB, though I want to later be able to later go the other way (plug a USB keyboard into an ADB Mac) - this favors something like the MAX3421E as an additional chip later on. Thanks! |
