Hello.
Myapp is for a PSC motor controller (speed and direction) there are many
app notes for various chips eg Microchip AN967 gives decent details,
code and so on. I am used to 8051 and with the given data from Microchip
appnote AN967 would be able to impliment a similar control system.

I went to my chip vendor who suggested instead of staying with the 8051
family to try Cypress PSOC because he said it was so easy to use as to
almost make the programmer redundant. However, in reality it seems that
when one has unusual requirements there may be a similar workload as
would be the case if I stuck with my tried and trusty 8051 variants
(inlude Atmel Mega).


I am wondering if the learning curve for a newbie to create such a
driver for PSOC would take me longer to implement than for the likes of
familiar 8051 or AVR in C.

If anyone here has been using the PSOC system, and has previous
experience with other micros I'd be particularly interested in your
comments as to the development curve for new addons, and comments in
general.


I helped a student with a simple project using a PSOC a couple of years
ago when I was visiting a friend's lab. It went quite well but I feel
that a conventional MCU like an AVR or a PIC would be just about as
easy to use, and a lot better for most applications.
