dsPIC: Places for good developer information

Aug 27, 2010 5 Replies

It would appear I am about to start on a project using dsPIC30F6015 programmed in C using Microchip's toolchain. It's a long time since I did any PIC work (and taht was a smaller PIC)and don't seem to have an favourites or news groups that are relevant. I am sure there are some pitfalls to avoid and tips for making life easier (and software better). Where might I find them, or help with problems?


TIA,



Bill

I find the courses offered at the regional training centers great for getting up to speed quickly, and avoiding common problems on microchip products. The classes I attended have been to have been very small and I was able to get all of my questions answered.

The Microchip forums are the best place. You can usually find someone with the same issue, if not, the community is great but it might take a little while to get an answer. Also, I e-mailed the RTC instructor with a problem that was related to a course I took with him and he was quick to respond.
