I'm into AVR and MCS-51,what about everybody else?

But I've heard that 8051s are more easily interfered than PICs and AVRs,etc.I haven't experimented that,is that true?
Sorry to be confusing .I said to be interfered just meant to experience eletro-magnetic interference(EMI).They said a 8051 MCU is more likely to be affected by a same EMI than a IC.Is that true?Nigel Goodwin said:[I don't really know what you mean by "interfered"

Thanks for your explanation,Nigel. I may use AVRs more in my systems rather than 8051 MCUs.Actually I wouldn't mind using PICs.I'm not into it just because my programer doesn't support PICs,and that I haven't got enough time to DIY a programer for PIC16F84.I may buy an ICE system or the simpler ICD2 to meet my needs.There's really a large group of people into PIC in this forum.I think I may learn more in here if I work on the same type of MCUs as the majority do.Nigel Goodwin said:I've no idea, but I suspect a PIC will be less susceptible than an 8051 as it's a simpler RISC processor - on the grounds that the more complicated a device is, the more susceptible it's likely to be!.

The Real MicroMan said:I use microchip PIC controllers, bacause of the ease of operation, information out there, and it's real tolerant of user F' ups. such as putting 9v on the power pins. yicks that got hot, but still worked
:shock: wow that's not really good.I had similar experience,and I still keep the soldering iron with part of my finger skin on it. :lol:Nigel Goodwin said:I've got a PIC with a finger print burnt in the top of it

Man.. I am finding it difficult to learn those 35 instructions against 100+ of 8051 which are stuck in my mind. Any ways to get rid of it for the time being??? :roll: :wink:
