Hi, everyone! I am developing a fruit-sorter, and this device was controlled by PC. Now, I want to design a microprocessor system to execute it. About hardware, I don't want to change too much, so there is a problem I need to work out--- How to implement communication between AD convertor and my microprocessor system ? Need what kind of technologies? What about hardware? software?
"If you don't understand these things, you'll probably need to find a good analog systems designer to help you." Even if you do understand the question, you may still need the assistance of a good analogue systems designer: if you need a high-speed 10- or 12-bit DAC, then you need good low-noise, wideband analogue electronics - which is not a trivial design exercise. It's no good having a nice 12-bit DAC if you use grotty, noisy old 741 op-amps! ;-)

It's no good having a nice 12-bit DAC if you use grotty, noisy old 741 op-amps! ;-) But it's FUN writing software to filter 5 or 6 bits of noise from 24-bit A/D! Jon
Jon, maybe you just need to get out a little more often? ;-)
There's no maybe to it! :-) Jon (I need a vacation) Ward
