Just registered here, it looks like a really nice forum.
Brief PIC history - started with ASM and a 16F676. Designed this project about 12 years ago and just retired it this year. It has been replaced with dsPIC33.
Also have a few projects using pic32MX - REALLY like these!!
My C is not the best, but I seem to get by.
Glad to see an alternative to uC forum, I have not been too happy with it for a few years now.
Thanks for the hard work guys
