I didn't want to name a specific PIC, but the PIC18F46K22 family was also uppermost in my mind when I wrote my post. It's my go to non-CAN PIC family. When I'm using CAN, which is often, I generally use the PIC18F46K80 family. The least powerful PIC I've used, for a simple power remote power sensor board, is the PIC16F1823. |

| You are right that the PIC16 and PIC24 actually are better. But for me its better to start with PIC12 because I have tutorials for it. |

Gee I started off with the 16C84 back in 84, 85?, then the Internet came, then CCS.... I have to think there's like a zillion tutorials about the 16 series on the Net !
Something like the 628 or 648, one that has internal oscillator and a UART would be a great learning PIC. I tend to think of the 12 series as 'glue logic' or 'LED flashers'. Not enough pins or features to be truly useful for 99.44% of the applications I use PICs for.
Now they are great at teaching how to use every bit of every byte if you're forced to use them !!
