Hi there I have an assignment for embedded systems titled "critical appraisal of Microchip PIC family" and thought that the PIC-list would be the best place in the world to get ideas on what the good and bad points of the PIC family are. Don't get me wrong, I'm no trying to get you to do my work for me, but what better place to get some feedback. I already have some ideas such as the I2C support on the PIC's, but what else don't you like and what do you think the really bad points are. I for one would love to have a larger stack and access to it for parameter passing. My embedded systems lecture doesn't like the PIC and I would like to change his attitude.
