They may be using fixed-point calculations, but in any case, the required b=
andwidth for temperature control is very low, 1-10Hz at most. My concerns w=
ith the PIC would be more related to the primitive peripherals (especially =
timers) and interrupt handling. There is no need for a 32-bit processor or =
