Re: C programmable microcontrollers
I'm working with Atmel series AVRs and yes they have a gcc port, called avr-gcc. It's bundled with WinAVR for windows or you can install it separately for linux, it works great and is completely free, even come with software to flash the chip.

I'm trying to get in to PICs and have two of them on order right now, but they are PIC16F84s and I don't think the C18 compiler will work, are there any alternatives? I don't have a lot (Read: any) money to spend on this really.
