I've just gotten 'back' into Microcontrollers again myself, and was going to look into the possibility of doing something along these lines using Microchip PICs. Sure your solution isn't as small as other solutions out there, but if it works, that's what's important. And a big thanks for sharing your work with the community! </div>
<div><br></div><div>Dave: I had thought of that too, but the price is still relatively high when compared to a ready-made USB blaster, etc. Actually what started me thinking of Network connectivity was thinking about creating a Network-attached LCD for use with Myth. ;-)</div>
