[time-nuts] favorite microcontroller module?

[Luis Cupido]

Hi,

2 cents ;-)

My stuff uses 51's or PC architectures
and my tiny stuff uses PIC...

So sticking to the subject under discussion
I would say my favorite uCont. is
a 51&derivate and for the small stuff small PICs

I know that someone may reply that nowadays
PIC are bigger and better, but I'm yet to
find a guy who is equally happy in both PIC
and 51's(AVR's ARM's etc)worlds saying that for
complex jobs programed in C he likes better
the PIC over the others.

Three things I don't like to see:
- Someone fitting a huge
DSP and tcpip and etc into a small PIC
(is it a challenge or idiocy ???)
- Someone blinking a led with a ARM
or a black-fin etc.
(just avoiding to learn 2 pic instructions !!!)
- Someone doing a tricky job using a
micro-controller to do something that
is a simple logic job, CPLD or whatever.
