[OT] Assembly and Microcontrollers

[Brian Densmore]

The only PIC controller kits I've seen are either PIC BASIC
or PIC ASSEMBLER. I know it is also possible to do PIC C.
I would definitely recommend using the PIC BASIC because
there is a lot of pre-written code that can be easily gotten 
in PIC BASIC.

Might want to browse through here:

P.S. - Don't be such a language snob. ;')
       Use the language that makes the project the 
	 easiest to do.
