Re: Can I do this with a uProcessor?

just
find any processor that has enough inputs, from a manufacturer that
offers some kind of introductory starter/trainer kit. That's the other
thing that the uP lovers fail to mention - the cost of just getting
started, and the time it will take


Right, that was going to be my next question. I've looked at the parts that
have been mentioned here, but I've got to find someone who will ship to
Canada without a ridiculous minimum order. Newark has the Atmel IC listed,
but it isn't in stock atm, and has a 99 day lead time (!?). Mouser doesn't
appear to have anything, and DigiKey, well - there's that minimum order
problem again.

I also found this http://www.hvwtech.com/products_view.asp?ProductID=370
which i can get here, but don't know much about PICs, and I guess I'd need
to figure out what else I'd need (and how much it'd cost) to program it.
There does seem to be a fair amount of resources on the web for PICs
anyway....
