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.

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
