That sounds like a demanding job.
It has it's moments (usually several a day) that said it's very rewarding.

I bet playing with MCUs is a good way to get your mind off it at the end of the day.
100%, I love it. We all need an interest. In a funny sort of way PIC's are very similar to us humans. They both input and output and if something goes wrong in between then there's a problem that needs sorting.

When you asked what PIC's I had the other day.Were you thinking of any I should have in particular?
