Thanks Neil, And please feel free to nudge me in the direction of any topics you would like to see. I can't claim to be an expert, but together we can find the way to do it and document it for others. This blog is my experience in exploring the PIC32. I do, as part of a small team, have a product in production that is selling in the thousands to a vertical market segment, but it was built under pressure and most of the code was a hack, as we were early adopters of PIC32 (the original prototype was on an AVR chip, but we needed more processing power so jumped ship and we went into production almost immediately).. I think our test batch were factory prototypes. Now I have the time to play with them and am discovering the real Joy of a well designed Package. Having made the leap from PIC16 to PIC32 I hope I can save others some of the pain I had to suffer.
