Hi

I'd like to make a small survey, about which microcontroller you use, and from which nation you are from.
this is suppose to be used in a project we're doing.
If you would like to specify why, you use these microcontrollers, then you are welcome to do that.
Or if you have a history of another microcontrollers that you've used, you would be welcome to share that too.

thank you in advance

Best Regards
Poul M. H. Poulsen

 

I use Atmel MCU's, most of them are ATtiny or Mega.
I use Atmel ones because I have Ardunio which can program AVR chips so I don't have to buy dedicated programmer.
Usage: CNC controllers,PC input devices and for some other "simpler" projects.

Thats funny, essentially the Arduino is a programmer. There are also USBASP programmers, some smaller Arduinos dont have USB.

Hi.

Daniel, South Wales, UK.

PIC16F and 18F series now.

In the past NS8750PD-11 piggy back MCU.

 

I have used 1802, 6502, 6800, 6801, 6802, 6805 6809, 68000, 4004, 8008, 8085, 8088, 8086, Z80, MC146805, 186, 286, 386, 486, 8035, 8051, 68HC11, AVR, PIC, HC908, HCS08, TMS320, ADSP-21992, DSP56F807, MSP430, STM32F407.

Did I forget something?

 

Interesting homework problem.

I don't do a lot of microcontroller work (mostly ASIC design), but when I do I use the PICs because it is what I am familiar with and as long as they meet my needs I can't justify the overhead of switching. I primarily use them in test systems to test our ASIC designs.

 

Microchip PIC's, because when I started there were tons of tutorials for them, like Nigel's and Easy PIC'ns. I had an early Ti 99/4 (Ti Basic) and had used Microsoft basic (early PC) at work. Twenty years later, I was just too old and lazy to learn a new language. MPASM has done fine by me. I don't consider the cost of PIC programmers in the least bit significant. I started with PICStartPlus, which was great, then used PK3 for a short period (lousy power supply), now I use an ICD3. Basically, it works and does what I need. Why change?
