Re: PIC vs AVR vs ARM

Hi All,

As an amateur embedded circuit player, I have used couple of AVR and
PIC microcontrollers in the past.

In these days it is not to hard to find small, ARM based ready to use
embedded boards under $100. They seems to have faster clock speed then
most of the AVR and PIC boards.

Can anybody shortly compare ARM with PIC ad AVR interms of (a)
performance (b) software support (c) price?

AVR and PIC aren't really comparable with ARM, the first two are very
low cost/power 8 bit machines, the ARM is a higher power, higher cost
32 bit machine. If you need to make a device that needs to run on a
coin cell for 2 years, you can't pick an ARM processor, if you need a
CPU that can do real time FFT, a PIC won't do it.
