Hello,
I am currently in the final testing stage of my first chip,
the "Cereal Sequencer". This chip was originally designed for
controlling 8 LED's, although it can be used for many different
things, most prominently the control of stepper motors. The
sequence that the chip controls is a maximum of 16 stages. Each
stage has its own 8-bit data (1's are high, 0's are low) and its own
8-bit delay. My initial shipment of chips should arrive tomorrow,
and I will flash them as soon as I get them. Here are the specs:
8MHz operation @ 5vdc
2400-baud serial (serout command) with 32-byte buffer
20-pin DIP
8-pins for sequence/raw output
extra pins for auxilliary high/low
up to 3 presets saved on internal EEPROM
simlpe usage - only 20 commands total and only one pin necessary for
operation.
If anyone would like to reserve a chip, please contact me at
pyromaneyakk@h... . My price will be $15 for the first chip,
and $10 for each additional chip. That price includes USPS priority
mail, as well as an 8MHz ceramic oscillator and a 20-pin dip socket
for each chip. I may post a video of the chip in action on my
development board if people want to see what it can do. Thanks!

an email at pyromaneyakk@h... . If you are interested at all in
this device, have an idea for a different device or want a custom
chip, you can also send me an email. Custom chips will have to wait
for a little while though because I'm already working on another
project at the moment.
