RE: NEW ukha project

["Keith Doxey" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

I rejoined the PICLIST the other day and there is discussion on there about
MP3 players.

Microchip also have a development kit for PicWeb using some software from
www.iosoft.co.uk called ChipWeb. There is an ethernet controller that is
connected to the PIC to interface it to the LAN.

Have to agree the Rabbit is a good product as well as being a nice small
integrated solution although I havent had time to play with it and am not a
C programmer.....yet :-)

Re: Displays.
Farnell stock VFD's that are LCD compatable so you can have the option of a
cheap LCD or a better looking but more expensive VFD. The VFD can be
filtered to quite a few different colours.

Ok,

My initial plan is as follows, use of the MAS3587F combinded MP3-Decoder
and DAC, and Rabbit Microcontroller.

My reasoning

the MAS Chips seem to be the most common in home-brew MP3 Player,
therefore I'm assuming they are widley available and easy to use.
Since Dallas Semi Can't supply TINI right now, Rabbit looks like a
reasonable way to get the TCPIP Stack required.

Comments ?

Cheers

Stuart
