PIC start-up guide?

[Razor Concepts]

Is anyone out there a PIC expert that can write some basic tutorials? I have a nice PIC based board that's just laying around because I just dont know enough about PICs and BASIC programming to do anything with it. Also might help get more PIC users on here because its very AVR biased here

I know PIC, but only C.

download the student compiler for C off of microchip's website.

if you have a pic18 it'll be C18, if it's pic24 it'll be C24, if it's pic32 it'll be C32.

the student compiler does everything except code size optimization.

if you have any questions just email me.

paulstreets does alot with PICs as well.
