re microcontroller questions for newcomer does anyone have recommendations on whether a smart data i o print spooler digital sampling etc would be better implemented with a dma chip or a dedicated microcontroller essentially what i am trying to decide is the best way to handle moving data from a port with automatic handshaking from or to a memory area that will be accessible by a main system processor when not in use by the smart data i o which dma or microcontroller chip would be best to use fast cheap and easy to obtain would be nice but i won t limit my choices to only those that fit those characteristics even an under would do what i want but i am sure there is a better alternative like a microcontroller with onchip e eprom so i essentially want to hear about all dma and microcontrollers that are simple to interface and will move data from one place to another while monitoring a few i o lines jeff white jhwhit ulkyvx louisville edu
