rmteo,

I agree with you. The PIC24's are definitely better than PIC18's. I don't hold anything against them. I just enjoy PBP better than my CCS compiler. And I think I can perform the math functions I need, including atan, cos, sin and hypotenuse (using a cordic equation), plus all the multiplication and division I need in the 20ms between RC frames. Once I start performing equations that exceed 20ms, I will certainly have to switch compilers! But maybe by then, MeLabs will support PIC24 devices.
