Hello everyone, I am looking to design a motor controller and I am having a hard time choosing an MCU platform (PIC, ARM, AVR, etc). I have looked at using a dsPIC33E/F, an AVR UC3B, and several mcu's based on the Cortex M3/4, as well as a couple others. I am fairly new to the MCU world and am wondering which is the best platform to choose? I do not want this to be a PIC vs ARM vs AVR thread as there are many of those out there already. The main reason I ask is because I have a couple other projects I am considering that require audio, video, and possibly embedded OS's which I feal is more suited to the ARM architecture. So I guess my main question is how easy is it to switch from a PIC/AVR/etc to the ARM architecture, or would you advise to start with an ARM mcu for the motor controller and just get real good with one platform? Thanks for your advice!
