Hi tim, > Is the book "Easy PIC'n" a good book? And...is PIC assembly hard to learn? I yes. yes and no. but yesterday, i had to use dos's debug to look at an old . com file, and to my great surprise the unassembled code was actually sorta readable, even though ive never used masm. that was a surprise. > got this GREAT book some time ago from Motorola titled "HC05 Understanding > Small Microcontrollers", the best book ever on MCU operation..although I never hafta look into this myself... > Will this pass as I learn PIC assembly? yes and no. as you learn more, you can get confused on a higher level than you could before. good luck. alice
