Post by thread:[PIC]: Microchip seminars

Hi all, Microchip have just sent me a flyer advertising their free seminars. I was wondering if any PIClisters are planning to go? I'll probably be going to the Leeds seminar on the 12th of June. Later. -- Phil. spam_OUTphilpemTakeThisOuTdsl.pipex.com http://www.philpem.dsl.pipex.com/ -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList .....piclist-unsubscribe-requestKILLspam@spam@mitvma.mit.edu>

Checked there web site (messy and over-designed), but could not find anything. Never mind, I can't go there tomorrow anyway... Jan-Erik.

This will be my first Microchip seminar. I'm curious as to what to expect, and also interested to see if there might be any PicKits on hand for sale. I'd like to hear from any others who have gone to this seminar and would like to let me know what to expect. Also, if anyone from the list will be attending the Asheville seminar, let me know and I'll look for you there.

Phil., I attended the one in Houston, Texas USA about a week or so ago. Most of what they discussed I already knew. I did benefit from about 10% of it though which justified my going. Unless you're an absolute beginner, you'll already know most of what they teach you. But there are free door prizes and refreshements, so I'd go if you're able. Hope this helps you out.

I'm going to the seminar in Roanoke, VA on June 19. Anyone on the list plan on attending there??

Well, I guess I don't classify as an absolute beginner - I've read most of the PIC16C84 datasheet (that's how I learned to program PICs) and I've got copies of all the MPLAB manuals, the Mid Range Reference Manual and numerous datasheets. You're probably talking to the only person who looked at a broken clock radio and thought "I wonder if I can hook that up to a PIC"... :-) > But there are free door prizes and refreshements, so I'd go if you're > able. Hmm... I can't really justify a 50-minute journey just for the little bit of the seminar that will actually be of some interest. Now where did I put that bag of lemons... I think it's time to build the "LemonPIC WebServer" <GRIN> Later. -- Phil. philpemSTOPspamspam_OUTdsl.pipex.com http://www.philpem.dsl.pipex.com/ -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList spamBeGonepiclist-unsubscribe-requestSTOPspamEraseMEmitvma.mit.edu>

Microchip was touting their nanopower PICs running some circuits off this big orange. (featured pretty prominently in some ads, too, I think.) TI's booth had their MSP430 running off of some tiny little grapes... (I *THINK* it's all marketing. Current delivered probably has more to do with electrode area than size of fruit, and I think they were both using rather ordinary wires....)

Wow, the TI MSP430 seminar I went to last year used a couple pineapple slices. They must be raiding the fruit buffet at their hotels before they leave for the seminars... ;-) BTW, I've completed a couple projects with the MSP430's now and I like 'em. A lot.

They have several new devices due out any time. I don't use I2C that much and usually as a master when I do. I've seen others complain about the lack of I2C master capabilities, so hopefully TI is listening! I find the MSP430 and PIC families to be complimentary with the work I do. The MSP430's are better than PICs at some things (LCD, low power battery applications, analog signal processing). The MSP430 family also has a fantastic timer system -- a little complex, but very powerful. I definitely like programming/debugging with the MSP430 family over PICs. I still like the smaller PICs for simple low pin count designs. I used to use PICs almost exclusively for single-chip designs, but am finding myself using them less and less. I'm currently using several microcontroller families, mostly based on design complexity and speed/memory requirements: 1. PIC (least complex) 2. MSP430 3. Cygnal 4. Rabbit 2000/3000 (most complex) Lately I've been split fairly evenly between MSP430's, PICs and Cygnal's parts -- but it could just be the nature of the designs I've come up against. I generally use whatever makes the most sense for a particular design. I guess I like a little variety too... ;-) Matt Pobursky Maximum Performance Systems -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
