Hi Guys =20 I am very new in the PIC business. I am keen to get of the ground with it. I am particularly interested in home automation and robotics. =20 My question is: I am interested in writing my own code for the Pic, I don't know Assembler and see that there are Basic compilers available for the Pic. I have my own programmer and software; just need the Basic editor and compiler. I have looked at the Crownhill Associates, written by Les Johnson. It looks great. =20 I want to invest only in one product, and can't really find a web site that rates the different packages features, price and usability. Can anyone out there point me in the right direction, recommend something? =20 Thanks Ruben -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
