Hi, If you are going to use the 16Fxxx Microchip series and 100% optimization of code is not required, try CH Basic Bronze Edition (Lite and Demo) or the CH Basic Flash, you can download it at www.celestialhorizons.com it4s easy to work with. License price is moderate. BUT TRY TO LEARN ASSEMBLER !

I am keen to get of the ground with it. I am particularly interested in home automation and robotics. 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. 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? Thanks Ruben -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
