two microcontrolers on the same clock
« on: June 22, 2007, 07:47:17 AM »
Is it possible to run two microcontrolers on the same clock? I'm going to try it any ways but I just wonted some        input before I started.

Hi,

Sure, if you use eg. an x-tal oscillator, but it won't work with a bareback x-tal or a resonator.

A rather fast and fairly heavy robot with quite large wheels needs what? A lot of power?

For an internal clock source (no crystal), you can set a microcontroller to output the clock on a pin, and another microcontroller can accept that as a clock source.
