Title: Commercial products.

Hi to all,

    have you used a uC(PIC,ARM,AVR, etc..) FPGA(anykind) in commercial products?
What did it do?
Can you post pictures?

I have, but await moderator comment before posting link, as linking to my commercial products may be breaking the rules...

   7- No advertising allowed here (to other forums or personal pages).

I desire to obey the rules and keep Sonsivri the wonderful place those rules make it.

I think a lot of the members have done this, but this is not the reason why we are here.

If you stay out of advertising limits, it's ok to talk. But I know there are few people want to tell everyone their products, and sell them. Just linking some commercial page and not commenting means you are advertising and it means one way ticket to warning.

I used PIC18F4550 in a huge machine that uses 2kW AC motor, 2 step motors, 1 encoder, 240*128 GLCD and bunch of small stuff. It was horrible. Machine stops working once in a while. Yeah its my fault too. I didn't use IO level, like isolating PIC from environment with optocouples. Because I realized later there are too much electrical noise.

Here is what I did: http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/543/130520092594.jpg

My business partner and I used PIC16F877 in three different flavors of GPS Syncronized Nixie Tube clocks,
Jeff designed and built the hardware, I wrote the program.  Jeff's eye for looks and my programming skills
combined to form a very eye-catching and feature-rich product.

There's tons of information about them to be had at http://www.nixisat.com if anyone wants to read more.
