VNN,

> Or, why did you choose an AVR for your jobs ? In what kinds of projects,
AVRs are the best choice ?

For me, I choose them for several reasons
1) They are Fast, most instructions are 1 clock per instruction, not 4
clocks like certain other micros.
2) Good support for C
3) Great on board features, like hardware USARTs, PWM, ADCs, etc

I looked at PICs, when I began playing, they're slower, have less features
and almost no support for C coding.
