AI Thread Summary
For beginners learning about PIC, it's recommended to explore development boards from manufacturers like Microchip, Atmel, and Arduino, with Microchip being more prevalent in industry applications. Development kits typically include everything needed to start programming. Arduino offers a more user-friendly, plug-and-play experience, while Microchip and Atmel provide versatile options for more advanced learning. It's beneficial to choose equipment that balances cost and functionality for future projects. Overall, investing in a development kit is a solid starting point for anyone interested in PIC programming.

Hey

I have decided to learn about PIC, but I could use some tips when it comes to compilers, programming boards and the other basic stuff you need to do all the things a beginner would like to do with PICs. I'm planning on learning more than just the basic stuff, so gear that is versatile may be preferable if the cost isn't too high.

Thank you :biggrin:

Manufacturers sell development boards which are kits that have everything you need to get started with programming. Check the ones out by Microchip, Atmel, and Arduino. Arduino is more of a plug-and-play affair as far as I know. Industry uses either Microchip or Atmel, but more so the former I think.
 
Thank you! I was thinking about buying one of those kits, but I wanted to check twice and get somebody else's opinion. Your answer was very helpful. :smile:

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
