I'm switching to PIC Microchip 16F877A from Picaxe and was interested in discussing the different programmers and developement languages. I dont Know C or C+ , but will have to learn something new so I guess I should try to learn C+ to keep up. Any recomendations on prefered software. I have downloaded the MPLAB IDE so what else should I need to be able to wirte to a 16f series chip? I'm sort of looking for an integrated app to write, compile and debug all in one program. Something well supported and with a large help or forum for support would also be good too. Suggestions, Ideas, Recomendations? Microchip is all new to me so I would also like something a little less esoteric and difficult to learn too. Thanks in advance for the help and motivation.
