Mouser quoted 18 weeks but actually delivered the 100 I ordered in 2 weeks from a plant in the Phillipines. | Quote: | I decided to buy a relatively small quantity and mount them on a header board as a service to other ZX users. Unfortunately no-one has yet decided to buy one  |
My project is not meant as a commercial venture but is intended as a service to the Home Automation community. At best, I try to recover out-of-pocket costs - I think I'll suffer a substantial loss in this case - it's a good thing I work cheap. | Quote: | | Another alternative to your problem is to use a mega128/mega1281-based ZX device that has up to 60K of program memory in the AVR flash. Oak Micros' ZX-128e/ZX-1281e are socket friendly which I believe is a requirement for roZetta. I could supply these devices without the RAM extension if desired. The ZX-128e/ZX-1281e offer one RS232 compatible serial channel and another high-speed hardware UART as well as the standard ZBasic software-based serial channels (COM3-6). Unfortunately it would require some slight redesign of your board. |
I'd rather port it all to Tibbo's EM1000 which has ethernet, 4 ultrafast UARTs, tons of memory and oodles of DIO pins. It would require a new board and additional hardware to handle ADC but that's no biggie. I'm waiting for them to document their Interrupt object and SPI interface to decide. |

Arrow also charges $8 for postage which is a lot if you only want one chip. Oak Micros can mount the SOIC-8 chips on a 0.1" header board and offers regular USPS first class mail. |
