How simple (or hard) would it be to create a true random number generator? I know it would probably have to be based off of noise somehow, (antenna??) but how would I get a "clean" noise from an antenna?

    There's a thread on the Propeller forum on a "true random number generator". You'll have to browse through it to find it or try the search engine. I don't have the link. I believe it used the noise in the phase locked loop used by the Propeller's cog counters.
