It would be interesting to post a message like this in a PIC or Motorola related forum. Programmers that use PICs like the reduced instruction set (some pics have only 33 instructions), but this is important only if you write assembly code. I compared Atmega16 and PIC18F452 and t

Manchester coding is not really necessary. The Nordic VLSI chips can be direcly connected a microprocessor UART. I've used the nRF401 in several projects that way. It offers 19200 kbps transfer speed at decent distances. One project was a timing system for car races where the mea

If we're going to talk about MIPs for different MCUs, we should make some kind of effort to talk about the same metric and not just rely on the manufacturer's specification. This is often just the clock frequency divided by the number of cycles needed by the smallest instruction.

Another advantage of AVRs is better noise immunity than some other processors. I had a Motorola 68HC908GP32 in a dip package on a board that would reset with a single 4kV near field discharge. I put an ATMega128 on a dip adapter board and pinned it out to work on the same board -
