So much for the keep it simple concept! .... depositing I2C/Parallel port code in the waste basket.

Actually this is a very intresting question. What do people prefer, LPT (printer port=easy) or USB control? Maybe we can create a poll.
So people let know what you want.

Rando, the PIC I was gona use is the 18F2455 will be released this monthor beginning januari.

I'll take USB. LPT has too thick of cables IMO.

either is fine.. just add a usb to parrallel adapter

This is looking good !
I'm still waiting for a good tuner sollution for my car pc and this could be it
Can hardly wait to build this circuit.

Btw are you planning to make te pcb full smd or aren't you yet thinking about things like this ?

Thanks for posting the designs.... I just finished building one.... and man the reception is gooood.





















just kidding

Hi,

The PCB will be full SMT, double sided.
Antimatter how does your tuner look like?

How many of you are using your LTP ports? Whereas i bet all of you are running USB hubs to cope with all the devices!
what are the pros/ cons?

Nick

antimatter - you are a geek

just one word....GREAT

i like usb more, because i use mine com for infrared and i heave only one port

i'll hope it will be finished soon
