suitable. If you remember the start of the
thread - I am trying to make a cheap
photoplotter anyone can replicate for a few
$100 or so.
Drum photoplotter means raster.
Cheap means that I cant have enough CPU and
RAM onboard to convert vector to raster
internally.
The board is planing on having an ATMEL,
a analog PLL and not much else on it.
16 megahertz - 8 bit CPU
128K ROM
16K RAM
couple of timers
a UART
and an SPI port.
Call me a masochist I guess :D
