gnupic: Thread: Beginner

Hi,

I am just starting out. I need to know where I can get info on how to get
set up using a tool to "burn" apps into a chip. Am I at the right place?

Regards,
Dion.

This will work. Any particular chip in mind? Also what platform are you
planning to use? Do you have any circuit building experience?

With some more information we probably can help you find the right path.

Thanks for the prompt reply guys,

I did a commercial Computer degree, hence very little electronics. I want to
be able write a program, burn it to a chip and using a keypad, navigate the
app using an lcd. I know this is asking a lot, but I am prepared to take
small steps in learning. I use object pascal(delphi 5) to develope apps.

Once again, Thanks
Dion.

good morning to everyone!  I'm just new 
to linux.  I'm wondering, what PIC loader 
and compiler can you suggest?  I haven't 
tried anything yet and seemed to be 
confused by all those available.  I'm 
also somewhat new to PIC although I've 
already used one but only once and in 
windows using mplab and if I'm not 
mistaken, PICStart.  Also, is this all I 
need to get started? (loader and 
compiler)  Thank you in advance!  Hope 
you can help me with my problem.

Your wording confuses me a bit. Its pretty common for many of us to use 
gputils as a assembler. Although you specifically stated compiler. There 
are commercial PIC C compilers out there which I choose not to go near. 
There are some other languages to write in if you do not wish to learn 
assembly. gpal is included with gputils for example. Some other folks 
claim they like writing in forth. 

As far as your question about a 'loader' I'll assume that you are asking 
about a software and hardware programmer. I personally use a PicStartPlus 
programmer from Microchip (hardware). Then I use picp as a software 
programmer. There are many other choices available for Linux. 

My site has links to the websites for many of the components mentioned. 
Yeah I know it sayas Mac OS/X all over it, but I tried this stuff out on 
Linux as well.

Hi all!

I'm a beginner for this topic: programming pic.
I'm googled around various sites and find Pikdev- kde application to
useful. But I'm not find any Programmer to write the program to the PIC.
I would like to use pic 18Fxxxx series.
 My question is which writer/programmer suitable to program pic 18F
series with Pikdev? Can I build at my home, or by it?

Thanks.

Sorry my grammatical...
