 +==== PIC ====
 +The Microchip PIC18F series chips are used as the main microprocessor in the Core module. Details regarding the chips are as follows:
 +
 +=== 18F452 (I/P) ===
 +[[:​home:​mbhp:​pic:​18F452]]
 +  * About - This is the original chip used for MIOS/MBHP projects
 +  * Basic Specs - 
 +  * Pros/Cons - Simple, widely used, but lacks some features seen in newer PIC18F variants
 +
 +=== 18F4620 ===
 +[[:​home:​mbhp:​pic:​18F4620]]
 +
 +  * About - Almost identical to the '452, but with expanded codespace and RAM.
 +  * Basic Specs - 
 +  * Pros/Cons - Should work wherever a '452 is specified, and also used in other apps such as MBSEQv3 where extra RAM is useful. Beware early revisions of this chip may suffer from the [[:​home:​mbhp:​pic:​eusart_bug|EUSART bug]].
 +
 +=== 18F4685 ===
 +[[:​home:​mbhp:​pic:​18F4685]]
 +
 +  * About - A more recent PIC18F with similar codespace and RAM to the '4620, but with some added peripherals.
 +  * Basic Specs
 +  * Pros/Cons - Contains a CAN buss peripheral for fast inter-processor communications >1Mbps and implementation of [[#MBNet]]. Slightly less codespace and RAM compared to the '4620, to accomodate these features. RAM handling differs from the 452/4620, so not all apps are compatible.
