<h3>Best microcontroller for small hobby projects.</h3>
In this article,we’ll talk about the Best microcontroller for small hobby projects.
For quick projects,I would like to use inexpensive development boards that have expansion capability.
One board I like is Microchip’s 8-bit Curiosity Development Board,which has a PIC16F1619 processor. It is in a 20-pin DIP socket; you can replace it with any number of other 8-bit PIC16 processors. The development board is only $20 from microchipDIRECT.

The board has the following features:

<ul>
 	<li>Push-button.</li>
 	<li>Potentiometer.</li>
 	<li>Reset button.</li>
 	<li>M Touch button.</li>
 	<li>Four LEDs.</li>
 	<li>MikroBUS header (not populated),486 Click Boards available.</li>
 	<li>RN4020 Bluetooth module footprint (not populated).</li>
 	<li>Integrated programming interfaces via USB; no external programmer needed.</li>
</ul>
The PIC16F1619 is an interesting processor,and has some features which are not found in other 8-bit microcontrollers:

<ul>
 	<li>Four Configurable Logic Cells.</li>
 	<li>Complementary Waveform Generator.</li>
 	<li>Two Capture/Compare/PWM modules.</li>
 	<li>Two Signal Measurement Timers (24-bit timer/counter with Prescaler).</li>
 	<li>Angular timer.</li>
 	<li>Three 8-Bit Timers.</li>
 	<li>Math accelerator with PID controller.</li>
 	<li>Cyclic Redundancy Check.</li>
 	<li>Multiple serial communications: EUSART,SPI,I2C.</li>
</ul>
Lots of fun stuff to play with. It also has 1 KB of RAM and 8K 14-bit words (14 KB) of program storage.
The board is confirmed by Microchip’s free IDE (MPLAB X) and compiler (XC8).
But If you want to consider a more a fordable option 
I personally recommend PIC (microcontrollers made by MicroChip) and Arduino (SBCs — single-board computers made by a handful of different manufacturers containing microcontrollers from ATMEL and others). The main difference between PIC and Arduino is that PICs are typically purchased as chips and built into a variety of embedded applications,while Arduino is typically purchased as built SBCs. Some manufacturers provide SBCs based on PIC,but not many,and I know of no PIC SBC in the price range of Arduino.
I like the PIC 16F684.  It’s a low-end basic microcontroller in a 14pin DIP that I can purchase anywhere for less than $2. I’ve used a variety of Arduino boards,many of them under $10 (both Arduino Trinket &amp; Arduino UNO),where for less than the price of the assembled Arduino,I would have a hard time assembling the PIC onto a PC board.
When I’m designing custom hardware,I think of PIC. When I’m building one of something,I think of Arduino. Where SBC cost is the design primacy,I think Arduino.
