I have used MPLAB and an imitation picstatrt programmer I use OLIMEX development boards and my role out is very quick
I decided to use assembly because it made me think and understand how a PIC works These days I have a code bank and just copy and paste Cool hobby tho ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Magliacane" <kd...@yahoo.com> To: <amsat-bb@amsat.org> Sent: Friday, October 23, 2009 6:59 AM Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: PIC rotator control --- On Wed, 10/21/09, Gordon JC Pearce <gordon...@gjcp.net> wrote: > The PIC microcontrollers are frankly *dreadful*, without a single > redeeming feature.

I generally select the PIC I use in my projects based on the functions I require, and how well it is supported under the assembler and programmer indicated above. This approach has worked extremely well for my purposes. 73, de John, KD2BD -- Visit John on the Web at: http://kd2bd.ham.org/ . . . . _______________________________________________ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
