Electronics Weekly recently held a competition for designs using the new PIC10F, the results have just been announced: http://www.electronicsweekly.com/articles/article.asp?liArticleID7176&liArticleTypeID=6&liCategoryID=1&liChannelID4&liFlavourID=1&sSearch=&nPage=1 I was one of the winners. 8-) Leon -- Leon Heller, G1HSM http://webspace.webring.com/people/jl/leon_heller/ |

Congratulations! Now you have to tell us though, has it improved your golf game? :D Trent --- In , "Leon Heller" <leon.heller@d...> wrote: > Electronics Weekly recently held a competition for designs using the new > PIC10F, the results have just been announced: http://www.electronicsweekly.com/articles/article. asp?liArticleID7176&liArticleTypeID=6&liCategory ID=1&liChannelID4&liFlavourID=1&sSearch=&nPage=1 > > I was one of the winners. 8-) > > Leon > -- > Leon Heller, G1HSM > http://webspace.webring.com/people/jl/leon_heller/ |

Whilst I was thinking about a suitable design for the competition, golf was on the TV and I remembered something about players keeping their heads still whilst hitting the ball. I will actually build a prototype but I'll use an ATtiny11 AVR as I've actually got some of them, and I don't have any PIC10Fs. I prefer the AVR architecture, anyway, and having some more I/Os will make things easier. Leon |

I don't want to get flamed or start a cpu war but I checked out AVR's (lightly, looking at info on their website) and it seemed that the AVR's didn't have any peripherals except timers and AD, did I miss something? I have heard a lot of people say they liked AVR's better for architecture. What is better about them? do you not have to keep track of things like which bank you are accessing or running code from, stuff like that? Being your standard enginerd I'd get a few to play with but I didn't see the appeal at first glance. What'd I miss?

Some advantages are: (mostly) 1 clock per instruction 32 registers no banks easier ISP Leon |

golf swing gadget ... meter er... thingy?... :-) Way cool! Congrats! btw did you read about the guy who sent over 30 designs ? amazing... i thought of sending something - a light operated burglar alarm that would continuously check the level of luminosity against a 10 minute average - but somewhat lost interest in the process (not that original either...) Anyway just to say... well done! :-) Cheers Fernando Portsmouth, UK --- In , "Leon Heller" <leon.heller@d...> wrote: > Electronics Weekly recently held a competition for designs using the new > PIC10F, the results have just been announced: > > http://www.electronicsweekly.com/articles/article.asp? liArticleID7176&liArticleTypeID=6&liCategoryID=1&liChannelID4&liF lavourID=1&sSearch=&nPage=1 > > I was one of the winners. 8-) > > Leon > -- > Leon Heller, G1HSM > http://webspace.webring.com/people/jl/leon_heller/ |

The AVR has a better instruction set for high level programming I think. Although the new 18F PIC series has greatly improved their instruction set giving you access to the stack (also check out the dsPIC stuff for even better support) and allowing you to get access directly to FLASH memory for table moves and such. The AVRs don't segment their data and code spaces requiring bank switching (again, the 18F does not bank switch the code, but does bank switch some of the data memory). The AVR is faster due to a better pipeline I think, but again, the PIC seems to be catching up there too with the 18F parts. The one BIG difference that gives the AVRs a negative to me is that Atmel doesn't hold a candle to Microchip for engineering support and while Microchip never obsoletes a part, Atmel seems to change parts and obsolete old lines almost at the drop of a hat. That and I STILL seem to have problems getting some AVR parts...
