No one? What about Elf's post about MSP430 just a few posts above yours?
Oh sorry, did not see.
Define better? On the low end MSP430 and AVR are both available in DIP. I believe at some point NXP made an ARM Cortex M0 in DIP, but I am not sure if that is still available. I do not think there is much competition for PIC32 in DIP.
I mean improvement over the best PIC chips in DIP, like top of the line, newest stuff only.
PIC chips in DIP has 28 pins, i would like to have a 40 pin package also.
Do the NXP has free compiler without any paying involved for better performance ?,
not that PIC is bad if you set your project from optimize 0 to optimize 1 ( still free ),
it frustrates me that i risk one day to loose a lot of money because i want full optimize, i better buy nice hardware for that money.
Ok i know : need to buy converter sockets for those SMD chips, maybe a microscope and more, first lets see what i still can get in DIP.
If no one buys DIP they are being faded out of production faster also.
LPC810M021FN8 and LPC1114FN28.
MSP430 line.
Thanks, will take a look.
