Where have you seen a PIC?

I had a thought about PICs in general use. In all the commercial products I have opened up to look at, I have only found 1 that utilizes a PICmicro. It is a Harmony Remote from Logitech.

Where have all of you seen PICs utilized?

I race radio controlled cars, and recently opened up two of my Ni-Mh battery chargers, both of them had PICs inside.

all sorts of places. note that they may be COB (i.e. epoxy blobbed) or house marked. I know a lot of MS Mice have had them. I've seen them in various gaming gear. Appliances have them. Think mundane and you will probably find a pic (or renesas).

Hi there,

I have seen a PIC chip in my power tool (drill) charger unit, because
i put it there

The charger that came with it was junk, so i decided to make a
charger that would be able to charge the cells when needed but
also to keep them topped off by replacing the daily charge lost
by simply sitting there not doing anything (self discharge).
It's the best charger i ever had for the drill as the cells are always
ready to use.
