The chip was programmed in C, so it's not excessively complicated. We primarily had trouble just getting the two to talk at the same baud rate. I'm honestly not sure of how exactly it was done, because I was more involved with the primary programming of the robot, but I'll find out more later.

What compiler did u use? What was your experience with it? I have been looking for a C compiler for Pics. Also what Pic did you use?
