I remember those times, which is sort of why I haven't just jumped in on this and am asking for advice. I'm curious - what types of libraries were you trying to use? For this project at least I'm only doing something simple, but who knows what I might need in the future. > Around that time I got a customer gig to develop a product using an ARM > processor (they wanted ARM because of the buzzword) and also started > playing with STM32's, which was a much better experience.

I also like that the PIC32 are available in SO and SS packages, which better fits my prototype assembly methods. > I haven't touched PIC32's for over a year or two now so can't provide a > recent experience, but I would expect/hope they have their act together > a bit more by now.
