Lots of external PIC Links

Key words to help you search the table.

  • Projects: project descriptions, enough to reproduce the project, not just nice pictures
  • Tutorial: a tutorial or how to
  • Links: a link to more links
  • Info: Useful information that does not rise to a tutorial, misc. tips.
  • PICIntro: Intro material
  • Asm: for assembler programs
  • Clang: for C programs
  • Forum: for a forum, mail list and their ilk
  • WebRing: for a Web Ring.

So, for example, if you are looking for projects then search on Projects.

Note: Help us out with this list by adding links or improving the site comments, fix errors....
