hello everyone
i was a user of z8 family,but it seems shifting to encore is a better option as z8 chips have become very difficult to get esp in small quantities.i want to know whether there are any encorexp users here and how good those chips are.how easy is it shifting from z8 series to the encorexp series.is it worth investing in the development kit?
also what about programing the chip?from what i read ,if i buy the development kit,the cable that comes along with it can be connected to the board and used to program the chip.can someone please explain this clearly?will i need to buy/make a programmer?
the encore/encorexp series or then the good old pics is what i am considering shifting to.also wondering how come there is such little help available for zilog where loads of good stuff is available for pic and thw likes?
also,i want to add that i think this is a great forum.i have been hanging around here for a while and have learnt a real lot.
thank you all
