PIC10F is $0.55 at Mouser. You can make a programmer for it with an USB-RS232 cable and few other cheap components. That is what I call beginner cheap. Even assembler for it is dead simple.
- foldr 6y agoEven for PIC and Atmel, you have much more choice if you're ok with QFN and TSOP packages. The ARM microcontrollers aren't actually so much harder to use than the Atmel ones. I remember thinking that it was going to be much harder the first time I tried it, but if you stick with one of the popular ranges (e.g. STM), then the dev tools are good and there's lots of help available online.
- numpad0 6y agoDon’t you need 12V VPP/MCLR line for PIC?
- JAlexoid 6y agoI don't remember. Unused them in automotive applications, so they might need them.
