Matt,
We have worked with that option for many projects already. Again, to
get the program space needed for some of the projects we need to go
with a surface mount chip such as the atmega128. Currently our chip
of choice is the atmega1284p which gives us plenty of both flash and
sram in a 40pin dip package. As for specific requirements, there are
none yet. This whole idea is just that, an idea, that started
percolating around in my head as I was reading through the python on a
chip project today and I thought this would be a good place to get
some hints on how feasible it might be and/or where to start digging
to work on it myself.
Thanks,
Ray
