Building a wireless robotic car using PIC microcontroller 16F877.

AI Thread 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 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
