It has been suggested that [[::russ hensel test|russ hensel test]] be merged into this page or section. (Discuss)


Lots of external PIC Links

  • Projects: project descriptions, enough to reproduce the project, not just nice pictures
  • Tutorial: a tutorial or how to
  • Links: a link to more links
  • Info: Useful information that does not rise to a tutorial, misc. tips.
  • PICIntro Intro material
  • Asm for asembler programs
  • CLang for C programs
  • Forum for a forum, mail list and their ilk
  • WebRing for a Web Ring.

So, for example, if you are looking for projects then search on Projects.

Stepbots

A stepbot is a three wheeled robot using stepper motors.

  • Project

An Anemometer Circuit Measure wind speed. This has no moving parts, works by measuring cooling of a “hot” transistor. Fairly low parts count.
  • Project
  • PIC
Bench Power Supply Uses a PIC for control and to measure voltage and current. Not simple but nice.

Microchip "Code Module Library"

While different versions of C are different, these may help no matter which version you are using. Some versions of Microchips compilers are free.


  • ASM
Dring Engineering Services Wizzards and calculators for generating PIC code.
