Sweet! thanks guys. i see these seem to be a fav.

ATTINY45
ATTINY46
PIC16F628A
PIC16F887


someone referred to a AT91SAM7.. Those are so expensive i can see why a jump to a LPC would be nice. Its about the same price and has more features.

The tiny25/45/85 26/46/86 are all effectively the same part. The odd part numbers are 8pin the evens are 20pins The 2/4/8 is available programming memory, also from low to high it's 128/256/512 bytes of eeprom and SRAM each.

heh thanks. Even tho they are basically the same, Physical size changes alot since there are more pins to work with. Different Project ranges.

I like them all. But I have to say the 18f1220 which is just less ram then it brother the 18f1320 I like the best It easy 18fxxx chip to start with and I don't need a lot of pins to control two motors and some Ir sensors. But the neatest thing I did with it was a combination lock with 3/4 keypad and a light dimmer.
