Thilo, Even if you'll find this program, it will have more (or less, but do not count on this) problems. The real world can't be simulated entirely. There are a lot of free PIC simulators on the net (I'm not using any so I can't guarantee for them). Take a look to the: http://pic.flappie.nl/ and search with patience for jalss (the site is a mess as the owner declare) Another one is: http://www.picemulator.com/download.shtml or: http://perso.orange.fr/udev/ I've pint more to jal simulators because I think will match with your projects better than assembler. I've made many industrial and research projects with jal so you can trust me (never trust someone entirely). > > Is there a program going a step further by simulating a whole > mechatronic product ? That's a chalange because any interaction between electronics and mechanics is creating unexpected response of the system (starting with mechanical oscillations, variable delays, malfunctioning sensors etc). The best knows that PIC-ers playing with robots. Usualy a simulation is just a simulation. be well you too.
