RE: PIC <-> 1-wire

["Broadfoot, Kieran J" <Kieran.Broadfoot@xxxxxxx>]

Ian,

Thanks for the information.  Not sure what an AVR is or why id want to use
one instead of a PIC but im sure ill find out in due course.  I was going
to
do some reading this weekend and hopefully ill have a better understanding
come next week so I can consider buying a prototype board.

Adding serial numbers to the PIC is going to be very useful as I need to
add
1-wire addresses to each device to allow switching remotely.

Thanks again

kieran

When I was buying my programmer I was not even sure if I was going to use
PIC's, AVR's or both. As such I bought the most versatile one I could find.
The zif socket was almost an afterthought but was the most important
addition - these can be added to cheaper boards though. It will also
program
all the PIC pin counts except the very big ones.

The software is good and will add serial numbers to the PIC's automatically
which is a good thing if you want to network them (ID's).

p.s. what is a TLA?
