 I am seriously considering dumping the PIC and going with the ARM.

 The superior ARM interrupt handling has finally caught up with the
 Superkim.
 It has only taken 40 years :)

 Everybody agreed the 6502 was great at handling interrupts. The
 predecessor of the
 ARM was the Acorn and that was patterned after the 6502.

 The 6502 was used in a zillion hard disk drives back in the old days.

 Interrupts are most important when it comes to controlling mechanical
 devices.

 I love it.

 For the past month I have been investigating new processors in a highly
 competitive  market place. A very complex subject.

My check is in the mail now.

The ARM appears to be winning. It is found in just about every cell phone and tablet
on the market.  Mikro has a BASIC for it but the manual is not yet available.
Lots of examples of code are however.
