| Experienced Member   | reply Parallax is the company for the crapy basicstamp2 and other little add ons they sell for it. It is expensive and is slow and has a pore PIC on it.

The real power of the SX class is its blinding speed. This can overcome any "missing" features. At 75Mhz one instruction takes 13us. That and the < $2.00 price tag.

| Experienced Member  | oh come on guys! dont you have other things to do in life? there is simply no point in filling pages of a thread with device comparisons. none of you two have developed the PIC or the SX and niether are you their sales and marketing representative. right?? so, just chill out. if you like the SX then fine, great, work with it. if you like the dsPIC then fine, great, work with it. speed is not always the main concern. the main thing is the architechture and the integrated peripherals. and as far as that is concerned all major microcontroller manufacturers have devices that fulfill the needs of any designer. its just a matter of choice i hope that helps have a good day |
