Hi,
for years, my only projects used 16series 8 and 18 PIN PICs. I now have a project with a 40pin PIC. Having to read and familiarise yourself with the PIC you are using takes time, and to really know it, then it takes longer.
PICs with 28 pins usually are fine for most things I do now, and don't take up much space. I am just venturing into surface mount where PICs ar much smaller. I think I'll be ok with the SOIC footprint regarding soldering them.
I'm now considering using PIC with more pins (more expensive), for even simple projects, so that my programs are all compatible. they must be able to simulate in Oshonsoft, and be low voltage (3.3v) also surface mount.. One 28PIN and one 40PIN should cover it. One suggestion is 18F45K22
Any suggestions for your favourites welcome.
Cheers, Camerart
