Hi Arron,

good news is any PIC has the processing power to do want you
need to do. Anything in the 16 or 18 series is a candidate

Here's the Microchip linecard for Flash micros

Obviously the bigger ones have more I/O, which makes circuits
more compact but using hardware techniques you can use smaller
PICs and multiplex their I/O. However, the smaller the PIC, generally
the resources inside (RAM, ROM, EEPROM) are smaller, so using
a low-end one (for example going right down to a 12 series) may not
be economic, vis a vis extra hardware and programming time, in the
long term, even though you could build your project around one

Filling in a few blanks will help -

How much RAM do you need ?

How much EEPROM ?

Do you have a budget to work to ?

Do you have a programmer ?
