Hello, I'm not sure what would be the best pick, but I'm looking for a small PIC I could program and use for small devices that 'only' do output and I'm sure at the top of your head your going to recommend me Teensy or Arduino, but I want to make this from scratch since it sound fun. Also if it's not possible with 8 pins, I may just go with the ATmega8/ATmega328.
I'm already highly skilled in C++/C so writing the PIC and the device software should be no problem for me on Windows with a small push in the right direction. The reason why I'm looking for a small PIC, three reasons: I only want to turn something on or off using the Output voltage from it. I don't want to get a PIC and only use %50 percent of what it can do. I want to make my USB device small as possible.
And one more thing, is there a good source on writing USB drive/software for USB pic? I'm looking to make a very basic console app which I can just put in floating numbers or int.
I was thinking on just turning on and or off a relay or maybe some other things.
Thanks, Andrew.
