PIC16484A

What does it say on the microchip site?

September has come early this year

1) there is no PIC16484 2) which language do you want to learn, C or assembly 3) You can buy Mikes books here: 4) see 2 above, then pick one 5) this is going to start a religous battle. i use both, depending on the project.

I've only used PICs; I like them compared to the Intel 8051 stuff. I don't know about Atmel and I only program PICs in assembler.

Have a nice day, Luhan

Don't you mean 16F84? There is no 16484. You can program in any language you can find a compiler for. There are C compilers for PICS also BASIC and probably a few other languages. The microchip IDE, free down load uses assembly which will make tighter faster code depening on application, usually about three times more compact than code compiled from C. You will need a programmer which you can make or purchase for a few bucks. Bob

Again sorry for google grouping, explanation in another post.

Could you point me at some plans or a cheap programmer? The PICs themselves are inexpencive but all the programmers I have seen have been too expencive.

Epic has a PIC programmer for $59. I'm not recommending it, do a search, You'll find all kinds of stuff including plans to make your own. Bob

Have you looked on eBay for a kit?

We built the Epic programmer into a production jig and it has been working just fine for years. The code goes into the micro quickly and then performs verification. What more could you need? I've dealt with some pretty expensive, complicated programmers in the past and most of the engineers and production workers end up hating them. I say the simpler the better when it comes to programmers.

thanks a lot regarding the subject on pic and atmel.could someone tell me if i could obtain a free ebook on pic microcontroller

You would have had your answer days ago.

Google is one of the best tools on the Internet. Google is your friend. :-)

those guys make a decent C compiler for PIC. There is some sort of free version for download too.

2k code limit and int (numeric) variables only.
