*Asm: for assembler programsR
*BootLoader: for bootloader software.
+
*Forum: for a forum, mail list and thei3T53
*Clang: for C programs.
 
*Compiler: so you can program in something resembling a language, include assemblers which is technically not correct.  In a section of their own.
 
*DBoard: development board for the controller
 
*Eagle: If the projects include eagle files for making the circuit boards.
 
*Forum: for a forum, mail list and their ilk.
 
*Info: Useful information that does not rise to a tutorial, misc. tips.
 
*Links: a link to more links
 
*PICIntro: Intro material
 
*Projects: project descriptions, enough to reproduce the project, not just nice pictures.
 
*Programmer: programmer, hardware or software ( to program you need both plus a compiler ).  In a section of their own.
 
*Stepper: for stepper motors.
 
*Servo: for servo motors.
 
*Tutorial: a tutorial or how to.
 
*WebRing: for a Web Ring.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So, for example, if you are looking for projects then search on Projects.
 
 
 
Note:  Help us out with this list by adding links or improving the site comments, fix errors....

|In this series of tutorials you will learn to program the PIC18F family of micro controllers using MPLAB and the Student version of MCC18 C compiler. See the MPLAB and MCC18 documentation for more details on these products.
 
In this class the student learns the material required to build a microprocessor based robot. The intended audience is the person who knows nothing about electronics or programming. Some level of computer experience is desirable. Every effort will be made to introduce information on a level which is understandable by bright people as young as 12, average people over the age of 18.

To that end I have designed a basic board that I was hoping to get some input for.

== display type ==
 
''display type is not particularly PIC-specific -- is there a better page for this section?''
 
 
The most common ways of communicating from a microcontroller to a person (roughly in order of increasing complexity and increasing data density) are:
 
* a few fixed LEDs; 1 microcontroller pin per LED (with 8 free pins, can drive up to 8 LEDs)
 
* character LCD display
 
* a matrix of LEDs; each column connected to 1 microcontroller pin; each row connected to 1 microcontroller pin (with 8 free pins, can drive up to 4x4= 16 LEDs)
 
* [[Charlieplexing]]; each column connected to 1 microcontroller pin; each row connected to 1 microcontroller pin (with 8 free pins, can drive up to 8*7= 56 LEDs) ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlieplexing Wikipedia: Charlieplexing])
 
* shift register; microcontroller shifts bits one at a time into a SIPO shift register chip; 1 SIPO output pin per LED (with 4 free microcontroller pins, can drive any number of LEDs)(typically uses a 74HC595 [[Popular Parts]]).
 
* mechanically-scanned POV: a linear row of LEDs is wiped across a large area. Each LED is turned on and off with precise timing to generate a 2D image. (p.s.: each LED must be directly driven from the microcontroller or a shift register. "matrix" or "Charlieplexing" does not work in combination with mechanically scanned POV.)
