I am going to use my Maximite as a master for the 6802 slaves I am working on, so I downloaded the latest version, dusted off the MM, updated the firmware and started to read up on the latest changes and then the bastard
goes and releases another update, V4.0! So what's new, well how about colour, stereo sound output (we can use this as 2 seperate pwm channels, one for charger control and the other for controller cutback?) and on board real time clock (useful for time stamping data logs). But there is some bad news, you only get colour with a new hardware layout, so while there is a version 4.0 for the original MM, to get colour you need a new colour MM. And one more catch with the colour is that it is only availible in VGA, not composite. But I think we can get around this with a cheap VGA to PAL adapter from ebay. I'll get hold of the hardware and see how it works with the small screens we are using.
Oh, I forgot to mention but the colour MM, in addition to the standard 20 i/o pins also has a Arduino shield compatible headers with an additional 20 i/o pins.
