Go to Post When there appears to be something stupid wrong with a game (HPs outscoring robots, unreliable loading, autonomous that accomplishes nothing) I shouldn't complain about it. I should see it as a challenge to exploit! - Chris is me [more]

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,
