If it was so easy to earn money with chips why isn't everyone doing it ?
Go into detail how one could make much money with microchips. And by detail I am talking about "including proof".
Be well - whoever you are.

You're completely missing the plot (or perhaps in the process of losing it) - It's the end result / product that counts, not what's inside. BTW: Good luck in getting people to give away their trade secrets on how to make it rich. LMFAO

It isn't clear to me whether you mean by manufacturing them or by designing with them. Also: Not everyone is doing digital or digital/analog designs. (There are still plenty of analog-only applications out there!) Further, there are a lot of people with ideas but without sufficient knowledge--especially in some fundamental aspects of electronics--to execute them.
It's my job to take another person's idea and make it a reality. I don't invent products, I design them for other people. I'm a superannuated engineer (57 as of 10 days ago), but not, I hope, completely obsolete. I'm still always learning to work with new devices and applications. And I've managed make a comfortable living doing it.
Do you mean "microchips" generically? Or Microchip's (the company's) products?
I don't know what for you constitutes "proof". I'm not going to post my designs or name my clients or disclose my earnings (that's between me and the IRS!). The intellectual properties belong to me, and my clients have a proprietary interest that I am contractually obliged to honor. Unlike Melanie, I don't know any people who have become millionaires, but I do know several who have made handsome sums of money from their designs.
It wasn't a PIC application, but I did have the good fortune to have a rather unique design go into space on shuttle mission STS-95 in 1998. It used a 68HC11; the code was done mostly in Small C and the rest in assembler.
Further deponent sayeth not.

"Easy to use" is easy to say.

Great information.

I am looking into Blackfin.Originally Posted by Normnet:

Originally answered by mister_e:
Variant of C/C++ and / Or assembler.
Mainly for multiformat audio, image processing, video. Pretty sure it's fast enough to generate color video without too much effort.
Since now i just updated some customer firmware and did some test. REALLY impressive, but... not something i would use daily.

It seems to be the most powerfull uC available.
600 MHz, 32bit, interface to nand, DDR, SD, LCD, touchscreen, audio, ethernet, high speed USB and hosting, ATAPI hard drive, etc.
Drawbacks are in C, mostly BGA surface mount and IDE/compiler.
Which IDE/compiler are you using?

Well, as usual when i decide to buy something i go crazy.. I byed everything which is not free or not given by Analog Device.
So go there
http://www.analog.com/processors/bla...ent/crosscore/
Select everything from Software and Third Party Tools column in full version... and that's what i used.
How much for the whole thing???Surprise surprise

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

Bought mister_e, you bought everything.

That really change my life
Thanks Mr teacher

Heuuuuuu, Trent
Would you do enjoy some French grammar game ???
Not sure you could beat " Dj Kiwi " on this playground - nor some others !!!
try to be somewhat humble ... if you've not understood that after this time on the forum ...

Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...
************************************************** ***********************
IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

Humilité ????
Alain,
Premièrement tu dois dire "Would you enjoy some French grammar game?"
Deuxièmement, après un petit coup d'oeil a tes messages précédents et a celui-ci en particulier, si je peut dire une chose c'est que tu semble manquer toi-même d'humilité en général.
Third: Try to learn humility yourself, then teach others.
J-P

Be nice! No country bashing.
Back to the subject.
I was recently pleased to find a 16F877 in a professionally built Variometer. (used to measure Lift/Sink in hang gliding).
A guy was changing the batteries in his, so I asked to take a look, and there it was.
I'm sure PIC's are in all kinds of stuff. But you never know till you take the case off.

Don't worry Alain, mister_e is certainly smart enough to know that, that was a genuine attempt at helping someone improve on their English skills. Further more, I'm certain that mister_e is perfectly fluent in his own native language.

OK, PICs in security equipment?
The range of panels made by CADDX (USA) and sold in Australia as NX-4, NX-8 etc by Direct alarm Supplies are ALL built around PICs.
Also the range of PARADOX panels (Canada), sold in Australia by Security Merchants also are built around PICs.
Bound to be more out there that I don't know about 'cos I don't use them..

Bet your mouse has one
Bet your mouse has one - I recall reading that in the Silicon Chip magazine some many years ago. This was when PICs were first introduced into the publication back around 99. How about modern-day optical ones, is that statement still applicable?

You have to be kidding me!!!
Hello,
I know that this post is a little late (a few months after-the-fact actually), but I’m sorry, Selbstdual is mentally challenged (I’d use the term “retard”, but I’m trying to be politically correct here). He obviously has no clue about engineering.
I work for a company that generates billions of dollars worth of revenue each year.
We have a strong presence in security, medical and safety.
We use PICs in lots of devices.
We also use Atmels in similar devices.
We had an interface board for a mobile video recorder (the kind the cops rely on) that used a PIC.
Well, we had to rev the board due to an obsolete OSD chip.
Since the original PIC code was written in assembly, and the engineer who was in charge of the re-design was an Atmel fan (and had a C-compiler), the PIC was replaced with an Atmel processor. That’s when we started having problems. The first wave of returns was caused by a code bug created by the engineer. It turned out to be easily fixed and we moved on. A year later we got another wave of returns. This time it was because Atmel made a small change without proper notification to their suppliers, or changing the part number, and our code broke because of it.
To make a long story short, a lot of a product’s reliability is dependent on the engineer not the part used. As for the PIC being a reliable part, Microchip has sold billions of them for a reason. There is no way, at their relatively low cost, that those sales were mainly to hobbyists. That’s a joke. One would have to be on glue to think so.

I totally forgot!
These guys ONLY use PICs in their devices and their equipment is responsible for protecting lives every day.

By the way, the company I work for...think "bees" and the movie "The Ring".
