Reasons for using PIC32

seejaydee · May 2017

Hi everyone,

I'm looking at building a bluetooth EEG system similar to the Cyton32 & I was wondering if anyone could shed some light as to why the designers opted to use the PIC32 as a "middleman" when the RFduino module on its own has a much more powerful, user-programmable ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller?

Cheers,

Chris

It was the chipKIT / Arduino IDE & Libraries availability. The earlier 8-bit processor (ATmega) had even more Arduino library compatibility.

If you look through the Category "Other Platforms" you can find Makers using other processors,
