The link below helped me A LOT to learn the cool stuff you can go with a PIC. I don't use Assembly anymore since all my PIC stuff is for fun and it's so much easier for me (as a desktop programmer) to move to a C-style language. I hear there are some very good free C compilers as well as compilers closer to Pascal and Basic, etc. I'm sure you'll find tons of different compilers on Google. I would make sure you can at least follow the assembly code though, since most examples and tutorials are in ASM, then it's just a matter converting that into C (ie. save some typing :) Good luck, and definitively check out these links: (BTW. These are the two first results in Google with "Pic Tutorial" as a search term, I guess that means others find them useful). This one: http://www.mstracey.btinternet.co.uk/pictutorial/picmain.htm And this one: http://www.winpicprog.co.uk/pic_tutorial.htm And this one would've been REALLY helpful before I learned it (thanks to rixy04 on the piclist): http://www.pic101.com/interface.htm MJ Brush ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Shoemaker" To: Sent: Saturday, June 05, 2004 5:37 PM Subject: [PIC:] Beginner looking for suggestions > Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me suggestions as to were to > start learning about pics?
