I am currently planning on a project in the college.
My topic is to design a microcontroller-based probe system, which consist of 3 type of sensors, which is the motion sensor, temperature sensor and the brightness sensor. these 3 sensors will be mounted on a control car which is controlled by a pre-programmable microcontroller. the reading from the sensors will be send towards to a personal computer for recorded.
I am planning to use IR for the motion sensor and thermistor for the temparature sensor.
But i am in dilemma to choose which is a more suitable microcontroller. 8051 uC or PIC?Any comment from the experts over here?
and also any idea on which model of the sensors i should choose?Any recommendations?
Your help will be much appreciated.Thanks you.
