PIC help ?

Zap-o

I wish to learn how to program a PIC and want to accomplish this C.

I am looking for a kind nudge in the direction towards a great "affordable" text editor that I can purchase or download for free. My current gear is a PICSTRT Plus programmer running in conjunction with MPLAB software. I am very familiar with MPLAB software because I always install our engineers code on to the PICs. Thus said I think all I need now is the text editor that I can writ the code in and assemble it as a hex file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the links.

I can say that this is very complex. I am using the HI-Tech software and man is it HI tech. I just wanted a small text editor that could create hex out of C code and what I get is a seemingly endless plate of spaghetti - click here and click there.

Well I can see this is going to be an uphill climb for quite some time. Thankfully I always have the propeller

You'll find it easier to download and install the Microchip MPLAB IDE, and run the Hi-Tech PICC compiler from that. You have the option of installing PICC when installing MPLAB.

These guys http://www.mikroe.com/ offer free download of C, Basic and Pascal Compilers. The free version limits the program size(2K PIC instuctions). They have a very good support library.
