Sure, sometimes i use some 10F to replace those 'old timer' 555, some 12F as crystal clock generator (when a simple gate would work), etc etc, etc. Internal comparator are just so usefull too.

I agree, they're addictive once you know exactly what you can do with...Also so useful when you need to reduce board space or reduce the experiment/developpement time.. well i guess.

LMAO! We all losing some old electronic basics...or changing the eay to design stuff. One thing is great... if the unit become faulty, we're the only one (or close to) who can fix it without hardware modifications

Is anyone else have this... "if i want to do that... i'll use a PIC for sure" saying?
