Hi Mounir,
Thanks for the concise definitions. I suspect that you can make mechanical devices using them. Maybe even a small robot? I haven't seen one, though. Are they commercially available? And how do you program them?

Hi Ted,
PIC stands for Peripheral (okay, I'm bad in English spelling)
Interface Controller. Its a microcontroller manufactured by Microchip.
PIC17 and PIC18 is two different microcontroller families. PIC18 was
just released last year I think. So it is very new.
Difference between them aren't really to much. I personally find
PIC18 easier to program. The architecture is much more programming
friendly (I think).
Hope this helps :)

Sorry for this newbie question, but I'm really interested:
Can some tell me what a PIC is, and what it does, and what the
differences
between the PIC17 and 18?
Thanks...

Must agree, 18 is way better than 17. Hopefully soon they'll get
all
their parts out in flash versions. Have you thought about using
the
dsPIC, when it comes out, to something ? I'm very excited about
that
part. Price wise, its very close to the PIC18-family. However,
its 16
bit and much faster.
From what I have read about the dsPIC it sounds impressive.
However at
present time I think I will have little use for it at work. But
I might
play around with it at home some when it come out, just for fun.
