Hello there! Iam a novice using the 8051 for a project and would like to know if it is possible to use just one 8051 to control the following functions: -read in a signal from an inductive sensor used to measure the speed of rotation from a wheel, perform some calculations on the data and use this data to control a servomotor which requires a pulse width modulation. -update the reading on a serial LCD connected to the Tx pin for serial communication after a certain number of pulses. -a temperature sensor will be connected to one of the ports. The reading will be converted to a digital form using the ADC of the 8051 and used to display the temperature on 4 LED displays. I'm thinking that it might not be possible to use one 8051 because some of the tasks are time critical. Is there a way of controlling all these components or is it impossible. Lastly, if I were to buy an 8051, which of the models will you advise that I buy? Pardon me for my naivety. Your response will be appreciated.
one possibility would be to use a SILabs F120 (devboard $99). , That would tell you if it was possible, since you can get no faster '51 chip. Then, if you have power to spare (and are going to make a bunch of the thingies) possibly use a cheaper derivative Erik
