BOBZ Products

Bob Nash and Charley Shattuck have been using the 8051 based products from SiLabs for some time now. These products provide a very cost effective assortment of devices for embedded systems. The prices range for one time programmable components that cost $1 to full development kits that cost $99. You can get an evaluation board for about $35, that works very well for small projects. The chips include many options, such as A/D and D/A converters built in. There is hardly a concepts for embedded usage that can not be covered by one of the SiLabs devices.

Bob Nash has done considerable development work using the SiLabs products and has written several articles, one of which appeared in QST Magazine - the main support journal for Amateur Radio or HAMS. Bob has a large assortment of little tasks handled by these devices, both for fun and commercial usage. He has been having lots of fun lately with their one time programable (OTP) chips, due to very low cost and ease of programming using the MyForth language.
