PIC alternatives?
Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2019 8:46 pm
Although I have invested thousand of hours in the past on PIC development and I have recently bought several Microchip products, I can't stand the company's policy with the non-existent official support in the forums which I perceive it as zero customer respect, or incredible corporate stupidity.
The kind of stupidity that could be included in the next version of this book (a must-read BTW):
"In Search of Stupidity: Over Twenty Years of High Tech Marketing Disasters"
So, do you think there are serious alternatives to PIC (especially alternatives to PIC32) from a company that:
1. respects her customers (official forum support and/or ...at least one moderator to "approve" posts)
2. I'd even consider more powerful chips like those used in cellphones, raspberry Pi etc. although the last time I checked I couldn't fine anyone selling them,
3. provided there is a low cost programmer, assembler.
And BTW, who else is licensing MIPs cores for their MCUs?
