Yeah I have heard about the PIC, I was more interested in the STAMP until I got some books on it and discovered it's limitations. I was interested in outputting video signal, and that's gonna require a lot of work. Can you tell me right off the bat whether I can program the PIC to do that or am I going to require a low scale video chip like the ATI Imageon? Either way I fuigured I'd have to set up a VRAM setup, so I might as well use the Imageon because it would spare processor cycles that could be better used testing for conditions and blitting. Is that going to be overly difficult to do [wiring those components together]?

The ET degree actually covers assembly on the PIC so I was just kinda takin my sweet time on that.
