Title: Xtal value? (Q1)
Post by: spumanti on 22 Nov 2004, 11:36
Hi !

A question about Q1.

In the diagram it is a 14,7456 MHz Xtal used to clock the ATMega8.

Can I use any Xtal, or does it have to be the 14,7456 MHz one? (I can't get an Xtal with that specific frequency).
Can I use any of the following ones: 12,288 MHz, 15,000 MHz, 16,000 MHz  ??? (these are Xtals that I have available)

Thanks in advance.  :)

Maybe 15MHz will be work, but not perfectly.

ok...

Is it a timing problem, or...  :?:

Can I change something in the software (in the ATMega8) to make it work better, or maybe use the internal clock in the ATMega8?

1. You must change Xtal in Constant.h for normal use Uart speed.
2. If emulator will be not work fine with Head Unit, you must adapt timings in link.c.

ok... sounds a bit complicated, since i dont know anything about the timings of the signals and so on... but i'll have to try, since i can't get the right Xtal

Thanks for the info :)
