hello, does anybody has any programming experience with this PIC16f877 for simple robotics use??? using "C" or assembly will be alright.. i need some pointers as to how to write one... i have all the hardware done but now it is the software that is bugging me.... thanks Henry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Damon Hopkins" To: Sent: Monday, April 02, 2001 10:22 AM Subject: [PIC]: Sony memory stick interfacing > Did this get posted yet??
