The first 3 items are relevent to robot making. I'll be making sense of them and trying stuff out onthe 16F690.

16F690 used in a college course

Check out all the labs and lectures! He even has resources on learning C from Java and C++. I'll see what I can learn from this...

Microchip Tutorial (by gooligum)

So, as verified by BaseOverApex, this site rocks. I'll be working on it over the next couple of weeks with the JDM programmer, Winpic and a 16F690. I'll probably have questions, and if you're following this, you probably will too. Maybe we can help each other?

Further progress will be added as it is made.

P.S. They seem nice, if you find it helpful and you have a job, you should support them :-P

Microchip PICs - Getting Started

What's one of those?

A Microchip PIC is an example of a microcontroller. Basically, a tiny but very complete computer in a single chip. The PICs have their own program memory, CPU and RAM. Most of them now have their own on-board clock, serial interfaces and ADCs as well. All in one little package. Faster processors (although less RAM) than my first home computer (a Sinclair ZX Spectrum).

Other compilers to Microchip PIC's (get more out of your picaxe)

It seems quite expansive, but as I understand it, these compilers

Both C, and a pre-compiled basic (no-Picaxe bootstrapped needs, use raw chip)

Aparently this way you can take your picaxe-projects, and take them to the next level if you need faster execution, wants to code in C, need floating point etc..

- But not cheap!
