Bill, If you plan on using a Windows environment, then you can use Microchip's MPLAB PIC IDE and several different C compilers, all freeware. MPLABX is a new platform that is still a bit buggy, though usable. And it will run under Linux. I use the PICKit 3 to program PICs, no problem. I use it in a Windows environment because I also need to program FTDI chips (USB) and they don't offer a Linux version. I run all Windows within VirtualBox, so I don't have to transfer files around between systems.
Google MPLAB and you should get the microchip site, or http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/mplab/X/ Hope this helps Doug Goff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
