scrying board loose notes: (scrying_tech_notes#23)

[with atmegascheme more or less in place...]

1] If we expand to 512K say using the 628512 (Hitachi by way of Reichelt) then we need 19 bits for each memory address and thus increases size of list pointers in interpreter. [16 banks 32k (16 bits)]

2] Question of availability of either CC2420 and NRF905 radio chips. Also if we use SPI bus on ATmega128 for communication with either of these.

3] Redesign of main memory board for 512K addressing (latches), fixed programmer header and SPI throughput.

4] Brief look over solar charging possibilities and designs - 2.4v from batteries (2xAAA. say 700 mAh), Maxim MAX1758 and associated voltage reg. chips. See references.
