AVR Microcontroller, is good solution?


hi,
I'm Student of medicine (Intern), and VB Programmer since about 15 years (+some knowledge of C, PHP),

i interested with this project, and i will try to Construct my one PC-Based ECG

at first, which AVR Micro-controller good?
i will try to build 12 lead ECG, so i need to 10 input lead, that export array of there value to USB port

sorry for my bad English, my study is in Persian redface


I would recommend looking at Arduino or one of it's variants. Start with www.arduino.cc/ (external link) and check out the playground. There are other microcontrollers, such as the PIC (www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=69) though it is not an AVR. Teensyduino is another AVR to look at as well as the MAKE controller, though I had problems with their board and the MAX/MSP interface.

good way to connect ECG with PC by USB

it's :
V-USB is a software-only implementation of a low-speed USB device for Atmel's AVR® microcontrollers, making it possible to build USB hardware with almost any AVR® microcontroller, not requiring any additional chip

hi,
i will use ATmega 16 ...
it have enough pin, and it's less then 2$


I suggest you look at the ATMega 8535. If your want to programme in basic try Bascom at www.mcselec.com (external link), you can down load the demo software which limits programming to 2K.

Cheers

Yes, You can.
pls enter to: www.ti.com/medical (external link)

this is a example for your project.
