PE seem to think that a microcontroller is a device that starts with the part number "PIC16", there PCB's appear to be hand-taped, and surface mount just never happened so far as PE projects go! You can almost guess the part list of any PE project: 741, 7805, 2N3055, BC337, PIC16F84... Elektor is a bit wacky sometimes, but it's always an interesting read.
