I was wondering how much would a USB controller cost in the USA, I'm looking for something simple but with a built in micro-controller, and if it could be shipped to outside the US?

Thanks.

We use a PIC18F4455 (sp?) for some of our internal R&D Lab projects because of the USB libraries that MicroChip has made available. Are you looking for a uC like that with USB libraries available, or are you looking for a uC module with built-in USB connector, etc? We use one of those as well.
 
actually the PIC18F4455 would be perfect, do you have any idea where I can get it.
 
You bet. Just go to www.findchips.com and do a search. Findchips is a great site for checking pricing and availability of chips and other electronic stuff. I got hits for the 18F4455 at Digikey and several other disti's listed at Findchips.

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
