(BEWARE! PIC RANT!)

For me, "look forward to" and "PIC" don't ever appear in the same sentance!

I'm not even sure how people cope with the MPLAB, it's awful, you maximise a source file and the project workspace explorer maximises along with the output window because they've implemented those as MDI children too.

Don't get me started on the microchip C compiler either, it's crap - it doesn't work. I don't want to sit there and analyse every mathematical statement to ensure that it's generated the correct code.

On the bright side, they have a shed load of USB endpoints which is why we selected one recently, but I nearly tore my hair out getting to the final stage. If only my processor of choice had more than 4 endpoints.




Have fun!!!
