Speaking of which, I have noticed that PIC24 parts are no more expensive, and often *less* expensive than comparable PIC16/18 parts. If you are just getting started and need to invest substantial time learning a new architecture, there is a *lot* to be said with just starting out with PIC24 if you want to go with the MicroChip brand. -p. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
