Re: Private bot - which PIC microcontroller?

I got to play with a PIC18F452 in an embedded controller class in college -- we built everything from a TRIAC circuit to an alarm clock to a Ford Escort ECU manipulator.

I've also read specs that on of the 16-series PICS is used in the original XBOX as an encrypter/decrypter.

Lots of fun stuff to do with a PIC, though the external platform interfaces are becoming outdated.
