  Let's do research 😉
  
  - Download data-sheets of ATmega16 & PIC16F873A.
  - Compare 'em & observe the difference & check which one is better for your project.
  
  The selection of uC usually depends your use.Most hobbyists uses PIC 'cuz it's a lot easier.It is cold war between Atmel & Microchip.
  
  Coming to your question,
  YES it is possible to do it with ATmega16.The selection of uC depends upon you.

  If its a simple motor, why not just purchase a L293D and just pass simple bits to it for controlling the motor?
  
  Your problem isn't convincing enough for switching the total microcontroller itself. Tomorrow you'll have some other problem which Pic could solve better, then what you gonna do? Cut half Pic, half Atmega and paste them with glue so that you get the advantage of both?
  
  Instead of just copying the code, just try to understand how its working. Controlling the motor is very easy task and you can easily port the code of atmega to pic instead of using a different microcontroller.

  You can any microcontroller in your project you just have different code for every microcontroller. You can easily convert your any controller code to other so Don't worry. Make sure what kind of feature you want in your project.

  thank u. can i compile coding in pic using AVR studio or any other software available separately for it?? if any pls say which software is it ??. In my project i have to interface camera with controller

  For PIC you have to use MPLAB or MPLABX.

  DUMP ALL.
  
  Use Arduino with ATMeg 328.
  
  USB+ Power Production+3.3v + 5V support+ ADC+ Digital 14 dips with single pin access or as register mode, Simple C program.
  Use Arduino or be sure that you missed a great fun of your life.
