Building a wireless robotic car using PIC microcontroller 16F877.

Click For Summary
For building a wireless robotic car using the PIC microcontroller 16F877, C++ is a recommended programming language, especially for those less proficient in assembly. MPLAB IDE is considered a suitable option for compiling PIC code. The 16F877 microcontroller is deemed adequate for this project, as suggested by a lecturer. However, there is uncertainty regarding which wireless module to use, indicating a need for further guidance. Overall, the discussion seeks assistance in these key areas to successfully develop the robotic car.

I have a few questions.

1. Which programming language should I use? I am thinking of using C++. I know assembly but am not very good at it, so I am trying to avoid assembly.

2. Which program should i use to compile the PIC code? I am thinking of using MPLAB IDE. Is it sufficient/ok?

3. Is 16F877 enough to build a wireless robotic car? It was recommended by my lecturer. But i need further confirmation.

4. Which wireless module should I use? For this one, I have no idea at all.

I hope you all can help me with this. Your help is needed. Thank you.

Best Regards,
KL.

pages 55-58 might be of interest to you

they wouldn't give me the (assembly) source code to modify it after i built it a few years ago sadly

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
