The 6809 came at my first engineering tech position. It was a hand-wired proto board. Then 68000 and 68020, then Atmel AVR. Recently DSPIC and STM32. These were all pre-made boards.<br>

I got curious:<br>
did you people start with a typical dev-board of PIC/AVR/STM32/... ?<br>

I'd probably have to agree. TL07x op-amps would be my most used IC. Not very glamorous, but they're the glue that holds a million audio circuits together.<br>
<br>
Aside from that, PIC uPs for digital, and SSM2164/V2164 for analog.<br>

I've never liked PICs. They're slow, expensive and very hard to develop for, thanks to the sheer lack of support - and last time I looked you had to pay extra for surface-mount!<br>
<br>
I used AVR for a bit but I'm moving over to STM32 - ridiculously cheap and ridiculously fast.<br>
<br>
This must be a personal taste thing, as I have no problems at all programming with PICs. The documentation is very good, and there are lots of examples to get over the most difficult part which is how to set the various switches (in AVR world the equivalent is the "fuses"). I've actually had more frustration figuring out how to set fuses, to be honest. I haven't played with the STM32s, I'll certainly have to give that a try.<br>
