microcontroller recommendation

[gizzmo]

I am thinking about my next generation wireless remote control application. My present app uses a Parallax stamp BS2px with a wireless transceiver and an RS232-ethernet interface module. My design is way too expensive, so I've got my eye on a new RF transceiver, and I'm having some trouble deciding on an 8 bit MCU to go with it.

My requirements are as follows:
- SPI interface
- UART
- ethernet interface
- cheap.
- programmable in C, free compiler preferred.
- free software libraries. I don't want to code details of serial port comm or internet comm, I don't want to spend months of programming, I'm not comfortable coding at this level. I want to keep coding at a high level. My code basically handles bi-directional communication between the transceiver and the ethernet interface.

Anybody got any suggestions ?

Much thanks.

Easy, try with pic18f67j60, it have all you request

Considering the same PIC just recommended, Swordfish Basic is an excellent compiler, very structured and optimized, and there is an Ethernet module, and full library available in a free downloadable version:

AVR also has all these

a free c compiler and lot ot codes

It is cheaper than PIC

if you go for AVR, it has everything except ethernet interface. There is one open source library for AVR ethernet interface, search 'uip', then you will get it

i prefer AVRs. ATmega8,ATmega16,...

CodevisionAVR is a compiler in C but its limited to 2k of code

I think that ARM is the next generation of MCUs.

 

[aupa]

i agree with you, sci-3d

i think that Atmel products are the next generation MCU

Atmel products are the next generation MCU
