I guess what I was looking for after doing more homework on the
subject was possibly a review of Arduino vs Amicus18. Amicus seems to
be Microchip's answer to the Arduino & it's a convincing argument. If
I were making millions of these things the cost difference of the
PIC18 vs the Atmega328 coul

Yeah, PIC vs Arduino is an apples vs oranges thing. PIC is a brand of
microcontroller chip, while Arduino is a microcontroller development
platform based on the Atmega brand of microcontroller chips. There

Only if you buy 50 of them.
At http://thetransistor.com/store/ you can get an Arduino kit for

If cost were the only deciding factor I would buy this

$15
Also the pre-loaded chips are $7.00 which is price competitive with a
PIC of similar capabilities.
Doing more homework it does seem like the arduino
$30 plus any modules you want to plug into it. It depends on how much
money you have to spend on toys i guess (until I have a project that
needs to be done that I can use it for it will still be considered a
toy).

Not extremely cheap? $30?

I have no PIC experience, so

Hi Everyone,
I'm working on a project that requires a microcontroller and have
narrowed my needs down to PIC or Arduino.
I was wondering what others have used in the past and what their
experiences have been.
In my case I'm looking at either the arduino uno
