 		 #123252 - Awful instruction set and CPU architecture
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Yes, the PICs have awful instruction set and CPU architecture. I have not yet dared to program then in assembly. But the peripheral set is rich and the variety of chips is huge.
You could program it in C to hide from most of the chip limitations.

                  oh sorry...            01/01/70 00:00      
   Datasheets are terrible...            01/01/70 00:00      
   I hear you brother!            01/01/70 00:00

      8051-like "instruction set" for PICs            01/01/70 00:00      
   Why PICs? Let me count the ways            01/01/70 00:00

            I can\'t blame him.            01/01/70 00:00      
               PICs are low consumption            01/01/70 00:00      
                  ...So are LPC            01/01/70 00:00      
                     how much exactly?            01/01/70 00:00      
                         Not at the moment            01/01/70 00:00      
                        did you check the \"user giude\"?            01/01/70 00:00      
                           that's even more confusing            01/01/70 00:00      
                              this is 'to be found out'            01/01/70 00:00      
                        The real world            01/01/70 00:00      
                           current consumption            01/01/70 00:00      
      PICs outsell the 8051??            01/01/70 00:00      
         Both outsold by 68HC05            01/01/70 00:00      
      a comment and a correction            01/01/70 00:00      
      All these wonders, yet the 805x still outsells it!            01/01/70 00:00      
      Market share            01/01/70 00:00      
      Lots of 8051s now            01/01/70 00:00      
   PICky, PICky, PICky...            01/01/70 00:00      
   Continuing...            01/01/70 00:00      
      35 instruction            01/01/70 00:00      
         Very accurate            01/01/70 00:00      
      ARGH!            01/01/70 00:00      
   sorry, could not help it            01/01/70 00:00      
   How do you confuse an embedded developer?            01/01/70 00:00      
      Nice one            01/01/70 00:00      
   PIC Assembly is tough.            01/01/70 00:00      
   site            01/01/70 00:00      
      start here            01/01/70 00:00      
         and for PIC 'c' programming...            01/01/70 00:00      
            Free C compiler            01/01/70 00:00      
               agreed but....            01/01/70 00:00
