Re: Which microprocessor for detector project?
The ATmega chips do have 2 independent PWM's, or at least some of the AT90 chips do.
The AT chips have a more complex instruction set than the PIC. It is possible that the AT could be slower for some algorithms, but in the few cases I looked at, the AT used slightly fewer instruction cycles than the PIC.
But there is a second metal detector project that I want to work on that requires 2 comparators. The AT only has one while some of the PIC's have two. I don't really want to be working with two different families.
