Hi all, I'm new to this forum, and reasonably new to microcontrollers. I read the sticky at the top of the forum, but seeing as I'd like to keep my options open rather than committing to a PIC straight away, I thought I'd post here.
I'm looking for a suitable microcontroller to perform the following
functions:
- LCD display control
- Infra-red input processing (correspondent outputs to be interfaced with
FPGA)
- Datalogging (data to later be transferred to PC via USB link)
There is also a possibility it will later be used to control a CD-ROM
drive.
I was considering a PICAXE, due to theirlow cost and extreme simplicity to program, however their serial data output rate (2400 baud) is too low for my needs; even with an LCD alone connected, this results in a very obvious delay in the LCD screen refresh.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Garry
