I have to disagree with this one, depending with what "small" means. If you mean "small" in project complexity, I'd say this is very far from true. BOSCH uses 8-bit microcontrolers (8051) widely inside several sensors (tire pressure sensors for example) and I'm sure I wouldn't call those projects simple considering the number of workers and years involved on them. If you mean "small" in size, then maybe =) The sensors are really small. Also considering how much time I saw the other internship student waste trying to understand the criptic C code for the microcontroler I'd also disagree that using C is necessarely the best choice. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
