If you can give us an update, how do you like the HitecC compiler for the 16 series parts? Better/Worse than MCC for 18 series?
<picrant>Its good you chose a PIC microcontroller over an AVR or Freescale etc. If you want to drive a victor from the PIC you can run your signal STRAIGHT OUT OF THE MICRO thanks to the high drive currents from PICs... AVRs n such need emitter/follower amplifiers to drive victors.</picrant>
Another question, these motors your driving, Are you using your own PWM board? or are you using a drive of some sort? ?
Are you using the onboard ECCPs in hardware PWM mode or are you doing it in software?
Thanks,
