ah, because of the 24 I assumed maybe a 16 bit but with a 24-bit address bus? I'd rather do pure 16 if that's the case. 24 bit buses are just weird. Laugh | :laugh:

24 bit... 16 millions of colours.
The PIC24 is a genuine 16 bit MCU, the name comes from the length of its instruction word.

Ask Chris for an Arduino forum here - you can ask whatever you want there... and answer it politely... Laugh | :laugh:

You could have answered him:
Only because I am better programmer than you will ever imagine in your more obscure and wet dreams, it doesn't mean that I know everything about the Arduino world. There is a difference between not being familiar with the Arduino and not being able to program crazy things that work.

I would not go into a pissing context. I would have said that and let it there.

Looking at what you were told... I suppose not much. Because one doesn't need to be Einstein to see the difference between being able to program and asking a question in an online forum about something you are not that sure and want help or confirmation.

I have been told that too...

How are you verifying the noise? What exactly is he claiming is not true?

He was claiming that my code could not run on 8-bit and 64-bit both. He said my claim "doesn't make sense"

I verified the noise through the built in Arduino IDE serial monitor. I solved it by removing conditional preprocessor defines i made from the ino file which is mysterious that it was causing the problem, but then the Arduino IDE is a godawful piece of trash and it mangles your C++ code "for you" behind your back so who knows?

Have you tried PlatformIO[^]? It allows you to use VScode to write code for Arduino and other embedded platforms.
