[En-Nut-Discussion] Special Multi Master I2C and AVR mega644

[Ulrich Prinz]

Hi Ole,

Thank you for support. I am coding a simulator for the machine a second
AVR.
I will keep the original control unit and send only the main machine on
tuesday. So we have some time to finish a working thing. The guys then
can build in the small boxes on the last day of exhibition preparations.
That is no problem. It was planned to do it this way.

The simulator is a simple slave device that can be accessed at 0xaa
address.

What is a bit disturbing for me is, that I could have this running on
any STM32F/L chip with NutO/S in an couple of hours. But I do not have
any STM32 on a small PCB and the devel kits I have are too large.

I hope I can avoid to call you on weekend, but thank you very much for
the offer!

Regards
  Ulrich
