I write this from Argentine, where things tend to go worst.
        IMHO, a project from scratch, needs at least 2 months, from analysis to
production, even in the simplest case.
        Currently, I am developing, and almost at production step, with the smallest control I think can justify the use of a PIC.
        From the first time, with manuals in hand (remember that's my first experience with PIC's), untill now, I have spended 3 months, and the last was 16 to 20 hs a day.
        Does everyone put hand to work and develop with more speed? Please, call me. I have a Job for you.
