i found this company using the same housing setup i will be using. also the same housing zeitronix uses on their digital display (sourced from hammond electronics).

i also like how they advertise a 40MHz risc processor, without advertising the MIPs, or the ADC SPs. go marketing.

haha i was looking at their 40MHz processor and they disclose the MIPs in the catelogue!!! it operates at 10MIPS!!!! my $1.40 RISC operates at ~20MIPS....at 20MHz.

*sigh*

in otherwords ATMEL > PIC. the atmel has twice the throughput with half the processor cycles.

Hey guys, how's everyone been? I've been so freakin' busy with work and such. Apparently we're shipping a key with out ignition switches that can be sheared off by hand just by over-turning the key...

Hope everyone's enjoying the nice weather, this weekend is supposed to be sh-t..
