Hello tech support?

My FitBit keeps asking for the spin cycle and I'm getting dizzy...

Arm Cortex? Those are used in Pi's. Although Atmel's PICs are much more popular for simple automated devices, I can't imagine them being good for car use.

Although Atmel's PICs are much more popular for simple automated devices, I can't imagine them being good for car use.

Should be Microchip PICs. Microchip acquired Atmel back in 2016. And the PIC product line is pretty broad with embedded controllers ranging from 8 bit to 32 bit data bus widths. The controllers have all kinds of built in peripherals and can run at a wide range of frequencies, allowing a designer to trade off power consumption vs. performance.

I'm working on a project with a PIC right now with a controller that dates backs to around 2004. Kind of blew my mind when I was given the hardware.
