ArtemisGoldfish said:I use the PIC16F876A, it's nice. And it's the only one I've used, but I think that's besides the point.
Mike said:And the best 8-pin PIC by far (IMO) has got to be the 12F683.
donniedj said:8-pin: 12F683 because of calibrated internal oscillator.
28-pin: 16F613 and 616 because they suit may particular needs and price.
Pommie said:The 16F913 doesn't appear to exist and the 916 is a 14 pin device.

cadstarsucks said:That all depends on what you are comfortable with, how much processing power you need, and how much money you have.
There is a point where the cost outweighs the comfort zone. Personal preference and comfort are often more important to a hobbyist than paying $4 instead of $2 for a part.

I strongly recommend moving to the 18F devices - they are soooo much better than the 16F for flexibility.
I was a firm 16F fanatic until I tried the 18F series - if I didn't have a couple of hundred 627's in stock I probably wouldn't ever consider going back to the 16F series and use purely 18F series.
Pommie said:Have you changed your tune? Are you saying that there may be a situation when PICs may be better suited than ARM? Gosh!!

cadstarsucks said:That being said I thought I had figured out a hobbyist app that the PIC would be better suited, model train automation, but then when I looked at it there was no serial interface on the dollar parts to allow that application to run. So...I did not bother pursuing it to a worthwhile post.
