I'm currently using the enhanced midrange devices.
I like them over the regular midrange 16Fs because they have auto context saving on interrupt, 2 FSRs, 2 INDFs, extra instructions for easier indirect addressing, 8MIPs capabilities, extra instructions for branching, and a few other extra bells and wistles.
I keep seeing people say things like "You should use an 18F, they are better" or "the 18F let's you do more stuff" or "the 16F is obsolete compared to the 18F"
Can some one please save me the trouble of extensive datasheet reading and just tell me, barney style, why an 18F PIC is so much better than an enhanced midrange?
In terms of its functions, how it operates, and how it's programmed (I only use ASM), why is it better?
