Hopefully this is the last time I use Google Gropes. You guys are
right. Yeesh. Sorry about this.
I have used PIC chips for well over a decade, and in particular, have
developed circuits using the PIC16C773 due to the 12-bit ADC.
Everything would be rosy with the '773, except that I fried my two
windowed chips, they are no longer stocked by DigiKey or Mouser, and
it just seems like I could modernize a bit with an MCU that supports,
among other things:
* 12-bit ADC
* Serial port
* EEPROM or Flash, instead of EPROM / OTP
* Low pin count packages that a geezer can solder -- does not have to
be DIP necessarily
* Free software tools, possibly even C compiler
* Relatively painless programmer hardware
Another option would be to use one of the flash-based PIC chips and
switch to an outboard ADC, if the collective wisdom favored such a
route.
Thanks in advance for letting me use GG one last time, and for any
wisdom you are willing to share.
