diy mp3 player uses pic18LF452!

my brother’s friend found this…

http://web.media.mit.edu/~ladyada/make/minty/index.html

apparently it comes from www.hackaday.com This site may have some naughty hacks on it so browse at your own risk!

I haven’t looked at it properly yet, but I thought that some of you would probably want to take a look!

One strange thing is that the PIC18LF452 microcontroller apparently runs at 20Mhz or 29.xxx MHz which I wouldn’t have thought it would be able to do.

See ya, from Steve

Hi Steve,

in MIOS applications the PIC runs at 40 MHz - the external 10 MHz will be quadrupled by the internal PLL.

I guess that the name of the MP3 player (nice work) either doesn’t know about this feature and uses a 1:1 clock, or that he has some good reasons for a lower frequency

Best Regards, Thorsten.
