Why not just bite the bullet and go ARM ? Plenty of STM32 chips for less than the cost of a PIC or ATmega<br>

Thanks for your advices Mike.<br>
My projects are not for professional uses.<br>
And the quantity of final boards is small.<br>

Could I do test on these Arduino board (I/O, SPI, UART, etc) Then put the final programmed Atmel chip on my just design PCB board ?<br>

I've never used PICs but was an intensive user of Atmel devices some years ago. The Arduino system is a good bridge for prototyping but for professional development the Atmel development system based on Microsoft's Visual Studio is the usual IDE used.<br>

Hi list,<br>
<br>
This is off synth DIY topics (but not as much..) But I'm at a crosspoint here.<br>
I've been a Microchip PIC user for many years so far.<br>
I've designed many projects around 8 bits PIC16Fxxxx devices.<br>
In these last years I used Microchip's development IDE MPLAB IDE then updated to MPLAB X IDE for the last years.<br>
These environments are well constructed to work in assembly Or (in my case C code).<br>
To me the weak part of Microchip environments has always been Their debuggers (ICD2-3, PicKIT3, etc..).<br>
I'm telling that because in the last 4 days I struggled to make my ICD3 debug a PIC16F1783 as it should without success.<br>
I posted my issues on Microchip's forum and had 'some' replies Like did you correctly connect your ICD ?<br>
or what length of ICD to board cable are you using ?<br>
but then... complete silence there..<br>
It seems that the interests are mostly aimed to 16 & 32bits PICs.<br>
<br>
And... I remembered seeing many posts and videos about how easy it is to use Arduino as a 'bridge' to get a small project done.<br>
Free user interface/programming environment available.<br>
Final projects on Atmel micros ??<br>
<br>
I'm stuck with Microchip unreliable debugging hardware so far.<br>
Maybe there are MPLAB IDE compatible hardware debuggers but I doubt it.<br>
So I'd like to hear you about what should I use for my future needs..<br>
Again I'm a 8 bits micro user programming in C.<br>
If a good choice of Arduino board would help me to faster develop small projects that would interest me..<br>
<br>
Your opinions welcomed.<br>
<br>
