We're using a 2MB SRAM with B as in Byte (MB is Mega Byte, Mb is Mega Bit)
The actual memory device we are using is an AS6C1616-55 low power CMOS static random access memory organized as 1,048,576 words by 16 bits.
We are accessing the data as a 16bit wide bus in the Toucan design.

As Rob has mentioned, the board has gone through a few stages now and a number of freezes and thaws, but we think we have it very close to having it finalised now and will commit to the design shortly.
Still, we are up till the wee hours discussing it via skype, going over what we have.

Thanks for your comments.

A lovely story Joao, it would be nice that we have more of these, maybe a section on the forum for Arduino love.
Thanks for taking the time to write this.

I curious about what I see on one of the LCD screen shots, 'Test Victim'

Yes, I can confirm the forum is experiencing significant problems.

Initially I thought, oh yeah, it's FireFox, but nooooo.

One thread I'm currently involved in I have noticed a number of issues;
The last post of the thread is not always show.
Sometimes it was there, I've accused a user of deleting his post, only to realise he hadn't and that the forum is buggy. (had to apologise)
Thread count doesn't appear to increase.
I now can't get the thread to refresh and show new posts that I know were there.
Any request is painfully slow, just like old days.
even getting this post here was a trial.

I dare not use the Arduino forum for a while until it shows signs of being fixed.

Scott, in Eclipse, go to install software and in that dialog there is a link in the bottom right corner 'What is already installed'
Can you see the installed software, on that dialog, you have a number of tabs that will give you much information.

CDT is the C/C++ Development Tools.

You only really need the Eclipse IDE and the CDP addon and then Jan's extension for it to work.
The link you provided was for the CDT 32 bit package for OSX, so as far as I understand that is correct.
I did this within Eclipse though, selecting from the available package list and letting it install it.

I run on Eclipse on OSX 10.6.8

Eclipse version 4.3.0, Build id 120120810-1300 from Eclipse preference, where you can also see a button for 'Installation Details'
C/C++ Development Tools 8.1.2.x
Jan's Eclipse Arduino extension 2.0.0.18

Thought I would take a quick look at the adventures of Wendy and Willis.

Seems she is the real business woman of today;
Quote from her email exchange from AWOL's link

Also, are there any other expenses I need to cover besides the airfare and accomodations? I could probably set up a trip to Amsterdam if need to. My company, Swollennutz has a business park development in Amsterdam called "The Clap". Perhaps you have heard of it?

I'm still laughing myself silly

Mikael,
This is really interesting what you are doing.
I have peeked into your Cosa OOP documentation over the past weeks and can see you have put a tremendous amount of work into this.
It looks looks to be a highly organised, well thought out and useable framework.

I look forward to learning more and hopefully trying it out.

Scott, un-check the 'Group items by category' and thou will see all

I don't know what you mean in your instructions: "Do not forget to configure (windows->preferences->arduino) or nothing will work. "

Scott, yes, we who use OSX or linux have it slightly different.
What Jantje is referring to is to make sure you check and set preferences, and on OSX, yuo can do this by going to your menu bar and selecting 'Eclipse | Preferences' and the Eclipse pop up should appear.

From there, look at the section for Arduino in the left pane list.

I think if you were to provide more details as to what you are doing and how you are doing things you would possibly receive more help.
It seems you are asking people to read and understand your program and to offer you help based on that.

Firstly, could I suggest you tidy up your program, there are many blank lines that makes reading difficult.
It appears to be cobbled together from different routines you have grabbed.

Give it more documentation, at each routine and specific function, so it follows what you are doing.
To me, It appears you have set up a local server running SQL, is that correct?
You haven't scaled or done anything with your analog reading, it will be just raw and unfiltered, is that what you intend?
Why do you have a delay(3000) after you do a http GET?

You certainly have a lot of serial text being sent, and at a slow speed of 9600, I would suggest to rationalise this.

So, again, simply saying you want to control a relay using a web server is not providing much insight.
I am not intending to be critical, simply to let you know how I read your post.

PS, thanks zoomkat, thought you pass through with some code.  

Looks like spam to me carolfische, first post I notice, that link has nothing to do with what this topic is about.

Monitoring systems can have a great role to play in our lives, though I would suggest we not become too dependant upon them.
I can tell you carolfische, it does not make me feel safe at all, and am curious to hear why you would think that.
For the most, they help pass the time and give some joy as well as frustration, not a feeling of safety.

For others reading, the original poster and I have been in private email contact to discuss further his project.

EDIT: suspected spam post deleted, please disregard my post here in relation to spammer 'carolfische'.

swseansw,

Do you provide a magnifying glass.
Or some details about what you are suggesting could hopefully make what easy?

Hello Tony,

Good to hear of your success with the Micrel KSZ8051RNL PHY chip.
I had a quick scan of the files, all looks good.
Missing brackets, easy to miss 

I'm still putting together what I hope to be a basic shield for the Due / Taijiuino which will have as you know the KSZ8081RNA PHY.
It's been years since I last did PCB design work, so a bit of re-learning on my part.

I guess what you have done should also help me with the KSZ8081 board.
What I am thinking is, it would appear we may end up with a number of PHY boards and we really need to pull theses various boards with their PHY register definitions into a PHY boards type file. This would then be a simple matter for a user to select their PHY board from a list.

The Russian PHY boards are being posted April 17/18 to me. I guess they will take a week or two to get to me still.

Just to keep things updated here, I have a couple of AS-DM9161 PHY boards from Russia being shipped.
Oddly, they will take the 'long way round', going from Russia to the States and then to me in Australia.

Once arrived, we will see if some progress can be made with the EMAC/PHY library of Palliser to have a little bit of Ethernet spiciness.
