I'm considering a learning exercise on a PIC. I would like to use a minimal PIC to log up to 8K words of analog data. A nice, easy, cheap device would be a 12F675. It has the necessary speed and ADCs. Oh, and it's in the Flash1 DevKit - I don't want to spend a bunch of money on a programmer when I don't even know which devices I want to program. However, the 12F675 has a tiny memory, and apparently would be limited to a software UART.
Can I attach some sort of external memory to a 12F675?
Or am I being too cheap? Is there a more practical PIC for logging data? If cost were secondary, which processor would provide flash programming, USB, 4-8K RAM, and socket mounting (not surface mount)? I realize this wish list is well beyond the FLASH1 category.
