Hi Mr. Bill
Happy New Year! I'm only just recovering after a "heavy" night - we are high up on a hill in SE England - it was a cold clear night and we had at least 25 "free" fireworks displays all around. Good party...
Anyway, I am involved in manufacturing electronic products, mostly DSP-based. Perhaps I should say I design them, and fabricators manufacture them. So the economics of the process are well understood which is why I asked the question about what is gained (if anything) from using it. Time moves on, new components appear. If they are cost-effective, use them. If they are effective, but expensive, maybe just use them in private projects. Experimentation moves the process along... I could put a stonking great DSP in my PI detector (based on what I do for bio-acoustic ultrasound stuff), but I have yet to be convinced about the merits of that approach - which is why (for me at least) why Robert's work is so interesting. Good stuff, that...
Which reminds me... The DSPs I mainly use (ADSP-2191Ms) are about USD 16, which when you consider what you are getting, is extraordinarily cheap. However, to use one I'd need a 4-layer board, a clean 2.5V as well as 3.3V supply, and really really carefull attention to layout...
Regards,
Nicko
