Re: Using a computer to control the pic

Allot of robot projects have used a portable computing device as the brains and a microcontroller to handle the low level hardware interface. A Palm, pocket PC, PSP and others are mass produced and provide a fast powerful computing platform for a reasonable cost. I believe the bot ball competition has gone this way with a dual screen gaming platform. I would expect some high level robotics IDE's to start appearing soon for portable devices.
