When I first started using AVRs I bought a couple of UNOs. I needed something smaller that I could use inside controllers for my machines. I moved to the ProMini and it served me well for two or three years. I got a couple of Nanos in Hacker Boxes and really liked them. I like the built in voltage regulators, the USB port, and the ICP port. I used Nanos for a couple of years then needed something bigger. Now I’m using the ATMEGA2560 Pro Mini. It’s got enough IO to run my entire room.

I’ve recently switched from Bascom AVR to Great Cow Basic. I’m thinking that I may need to mode to a PIC based MCU.

Does anyone have a favorite PIC based MCU board similar to the ATMEGA2560 Pro Mini?
