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

There are also the Microchip forums, they are very helpful. Leon

The classes I attended have been to have been very small and I was able to get all of my questions answered. http://secure.microchip.com/RTCV2/index.aspx>help with problems?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. Aaron http://blog.embeddedcoding.com http://aaronclarke.com
