SparkFun has a new PIC that seems to have some very nice stats.

It's not quite as useful now that the ArduPilotPro is almost ready, but it does look to have much better performance.

The datasheet shows the most power hungry mode at 75mA max, and 80MHz, which might make processing GPS data in a UAV a whole lot easier, and a 32 bit processor and a ton of IOs are always nice to have.

hi Tyler
thanks for posting , i have the microchip starter kit for the PIC32MX360F512L and it is a very cool little micro
http://www.microchipdirect.com/ProductSearch.aspx?Keywords=DM320001 , i can see i am going to have to get the board from Sparkfun also

i have been using a PIC18f4320 to build a UGV and it has been an interesting project , i think the 32 bit PIC would be a great way to go , thanks again , dana

"If you have used a UBW or Arduino before and are frustrated by the lack of CPU power, lack of memory, lack of I/O pins, or lack of sophisticated softwar"

I feel that very personal.
