Something that requires good raw computing power. The dsPIC could suffice
but it would draw too much current. I'm evaluating tricky ways to reduce
current consumption on the dsPIC xor move on / convert to the PIC32. Althou=
gh
I have had PIC32 chips and a starter kit for years, I haven't took a look t=
o
it yet. Both options are quite time consuming and I need to see if the PIC3=
2
route would take too many efforts. The chips are cheap and powerful, they
draw very little current, learning them may be a winner for other future
projects in any case, so it was about a time I had an indepth look at them.
