PIC programming

[zman099]

I'm just wondering if you guys would know of a place to order a development kit I can start working on that uses the C language to do some embedded design work.

I am currently working on programming a PIC system for my high school's TSA project. It is done in PIC basic though, not C. All it really does is output highs and lows to the different pins on the chip. I could talk to my teacher and find out where he orders from. The chips are working great for our project, a self answering cell phone for your car.

DigiKey is running a special this month on some of the Atmel starter kits. avrfreaks.net is a good place to get Atmel info.

Circuit Cellar and Nuts and Volts are both great magazines for reading about PIC and microcontroller projects.

Do you have the ad to the specials for the month

Yeah, I got an email from digikey about the Atmel AVR525 dev kit.

I don't think need an ad; you just order it. The ATSTK525 is available for $145 (instead of $199) for the rest of the month. You can get an extra demo board (a AT90USBKEY) thrown in for $1 at the same time. Just call 'em.

completely off topic: I liked the PIC a lot. I never knew that there was a C compiler for it. I remember doing most of my PIC work in assembly. It was fun though. *trip down memory lane*

Yep. We used the PIC12C509A for the new GM entry systems. That little guy is doing some relay driving for your door handles.

goto Relay_3

movwf R_Count
 
Relay_3:
movlw b'00100000' 
movwf GPIO
