Sorry, I know this was answered recently, but what is the preferred micro-controller, PIC, AVR, etcetera? My only requirement is that I can (try to) program it with Linux, preferably with C. I'm looking at controlling a DC motor (PWM) and a few digital I/O ports for a tool changer. I'll probably link to it with SPI or Modbus. I have an Olimex programmer and breadboard with a 16F688 on it. I got as far as flashing an LED, but stopped there. Since I am basically starting from scratch, should I continue with PIC or is it worth switching to something else?
I wonder if there is enough demand to have a micro-controller page on the wiki? If so, does anyone have past or current project material that could be cleaned up for the page? -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
