They should sell these

shit, they’re using a DSP (part number sounds like one of the motorola 56k series cores)? unless they’re just being random, this probably means those guys can do some pretty hefty signal processing–maybe something like speech recognition, or image analysis or something. Can’t think of any other reason why they’d use a DSP–it’s usually more awkward to design normal things like UIs with those guys, and only really worth it if you’ve got a need for complex signal processing.

@threepointone: Uhn? Doesn’t look like anything too fancy. More of a midrange Atmega or PIC- doesn’t look too far off from an Atmega168.

Per mot, it’s targeted toward low-power “motor control, appliance, lighting and power conversion applications.” which makes it perfect for a badge doing simple control and blinkenlights while running on battery.
