I've spent the entire day scouring the web for microcontrollers with a built-in J1850 BLDC. Finding these chips is not difficult; finding one that is still current, however, seems to be much more difficult. So far promising-sounding ones like the MC68HC908AS20, the MC68HC912B32, and the MPC5200 are either no longer being sold or are "not recommended for new designs."
Can anyone recommend a CURRENT chip, preferably one with an inexpensive eval board and free/inexpensive development tools (this is a hobby project, so cost is a big factor)?
Thanks for your help!
