Real micro-controller developers use PICs for everything (with a healthy
dose of assembly code thrown in just to prove who's boss).
Three or four of them on a small PCB can yield some truly powerful
control systems. Modular designs are always better than monolithic
designs and the PIC is the world leading module when it comes to
price/adaptability. If you find yourself needing more CPU speed, more
memory or more ports, just add another chip or two and break the problem
up. At $1.50 each, with very few external components, why not?
