Re: [Flashforth-devel] FF3.8 MPLABX

[Peter J. <pe...@me...>]

For some of my applications I want the microcontroller to give it's full 
attention to the incoming signals and not direct resources to the USB 
connection.  So, yes, having no USB can be an advantage.

Also, I wanted a system documented for teaching/undergrad thesis 
projects.  The PIC18F2520 more closely matched the available text books 
and the students (and I) are less likely to do damage with the RS232 
connection than with the bare USB port, I believe.
