I'd like to see AVR acceptable in some form on the PIClist. I
use them 50/50 with PICs and wouldn't want to join another list,
mostly because I've got used to the amount of mail and quality
of help on this one. Locally I can buy AVR 2313s for $7 in any
quantity but PIC 877s are $27 each for a tube lot of 13, which is
the MOQ. Consequently I do not buy PICs for simple UARTs at the
moment, but that could change with any new job that comes in.
Many [EE] posts aren't micro-specific so principles discussed
apply to many different types, and if the PIC list can expand
to AVRs and so increase (or at worst, not decrease) in membership
then I'd say why not. Members can filter out [AVR] if they choose.
