It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been a while since I did any electronics or embedded programming, but lately I have found a bunch of chips that seem interesting. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think I will have time to play with these but I wanted to create a table (to be updated as I find new chips) to keep a record.<\/p>\n
