Hi Bob, I still basically use assembly, absolute code, 16F, 18F, MPLAB 8.56, PIC Start Plus 24F and dsPIC33 too, with Olin's programmers rather than PS+ Don't use C or anything other than assembly, never have, probably never will I have enough on-going and planned projects to keep me occupied for a long time. Here's one current project that's a lot of fun. It's an analogue synth that I started too long ago and am now re-building, including PICs for both the quasi-analogue and digital (triggers etc) side. The true analogue circuitry (eg VCOs) is very "organic" and reactive, the PICs much more suitable for general smarts between modules that would be difficult or tedious to do discretely Maybe 1/2 way through, picture on left is but a small part of the overall build (won't be as big as Tonto but it's still pretty flexible). Plenty of boards to go to fill up those empty spaces https://www.flickr.com/photos/97814409@N04/albums/72157671619263690 Mostly 16F88 and 18F14K22, doesn't really need anything bigger. PIC-based sequencers, keyboard interfaces, MIDI drums etc. The LFO is a typical mix of PIC digital-analogue. A DAC is used to create waveforms and envelopes from tables, as in the other two pictures. Other similar modules include the ADSRs and random generator I've also made memory and delay boards using dsPICs, largely because of their DMA and ADC/DAC modules All in assembler Joe ----- No virus found in this message.
