Re: PIC resources

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

To a certain degree, I think electronics can be discussed in a physics group. However, the tie between microcontrollers and discrete components are much stronger than physics and electronics.
?
Another point, a microcontroller is designed specifically to interface with general electronics. I would say the discussion of Pentium processor are much far off the topic cause these are not considered or meant to be used in embedded systems. A microcontrollers firmware can not be altered so much that you can run Windows on it, unless you of course alter the whole circuit.
?
So simply, yes, I still think microcontroller discussion belong to this group. Of course, if its more into specific software coding techniques of PICs (or whatever) then a pic list would be better. But general programming questions, microcontroller interface etc, belongs to this group as much as capacitors and charge :)

Yes, microcontrollers are electronic devices, but the discussion of them has
generated so much traffic that they have their own group.

Should we discuss electronics on the Physics group?
