Hey, This is purely out of curiosity. What are some practical applications of the dsPIC. I'm actually a software developer and have only started learning about electronics about 2months ago when our lead engineer resigned. I did, however, notice on Microchip's website that it's a DSP/Signal Controller. But what exactly would you use this for. Further, do you also program them in C/ASM?
