Mike, I can see your really just dead set on being a jerk about this (great attitude toward someone coming here looking to for help/direction)
As I explained the Open Source/Saber Project is about putting the chip use toward a SPECIFIC TASK/PROJECT where were share things on that front.. like the PCB schematic for the LED driver portion that is there.. or the PCB layout for the other components we'll need once a 'program' has been written to do all the things we wanted it to do.. I doubt he would give away his HEX/SOURCE code for how he did the Orion Chip. Or have a parts list/Number for every component need to get the LED driver and other stuff
As for the sticker.. "I" put that on there to know what chip(s) are what.. (the stupidest things you focus on to dry about....really? I sticker on the chip to identify it in a bad og blanks or other flashed chips?) (sigh)
Googling the name produced what 'secret' wasnt mentioned for you?
To be specific its a PIC24FJ64GA02 I believe.
Noone asked if it was 'big overhead' for an embedded system.. its a good idea IMHO.. to let the end users get the most out of their chips..and makes it very versatile.
Thats NOT how the Arduino works..as far as a I can tell.. maybe you can show me how you claim it works the same? Dont you have to write some code..and flash it to the chip? (period) Then it does what its supposed to?
I dont mind changing my mind 'once I know more'.. thats why I came here.. to find out more.. but your attitude is just KAKA.. And you cant seem to focus enough to answer the questions..just BASH other things.
(should have known when you answered in this thread...from other threads saying oh well your 'grumpy' as an excuse to be a jerk in other posts.)
Your link to the SD card stuff...doesnt show or teach me anything, because Im in experienced...but it looks to be ANOTHER daughter board of some type.. hardly as 'tidy/easy' as the ReplicantFX where you just directly add wires to the SD pins on the chip.... or am I missing something?
so to summarize.. maybe you need a hug..cause your attitude sucks.
Instead of teaching or trying to educate..all you did was BASH form the jump.. and point the finger. (wow..cool)
AWOL-
I too thought the ReplicantFX was/is very clever..and agree the documentation wasnt the best... and Im saddened that there is no support/further development on it currently..
which is why I am here to look for an alternative.. but with people like "Grumpy_Mike".. Im doubting the Arduino is that answer unfortunately..
Its a shame.. I thought the code examples I saw were very straight forward..and easy to get a hold on too.
