Helloooo,, After working with '51 family i want to try out the PIC series now. Can anyone point me to a active disscussion forum on general PIC programing in C ?? Any help would be great ~!! Thankz && Bye Steve
oh !! Why do u say that ?? did u had that pains ?? i mean did you try PIC series ?? it might be usefull if you tell the forum what happened ?? Thankz && Bye -Steve
I did not have too much pain because as I looked over the "C" code for the PIC used for a particular project, I became so ill that I never had to deal with it again. Seriously, I don't know the current state of PIC compilers or PIC architectures (so I suppose I should have kept my big mouth shut) but the PIC is very unkind to C compilers, more so than the 8051! There is a very limited subroutine call stack, the memory is banked, there is a work register that seems to be required for just about everything, and (not that this is a C issue) there's only one interrupt vector. I've yet to see a PIC I couldn't beat with an 8051 in an overall analysis. My two cents.
