I have looked through previous threads on the topic of microprocessors and microcontrollers but am still a bit confused regarding the best microprocessor to go with for my application.
My application needs to do 3 things
1. Set the speed of a dc motor based on user input
2. Set the temperature of a hotplate based on user input and use feedback to ensure the temperature remains constant
3. Both speed and temperature must be displayed on an external lcd display
4. Networking capability is desired though not mandatory
I am not aware of which microprocessors are most preferred by designers these days. Any suggestions on which microprocessor I should use would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
