The first project I did on a PIC16C55 we did in assembler. It was not really too difficult. The whole thing fitted on about 3 pages. We did later get a "C compiler" for those chips but it was pushing it to call the language "C". It was mostly the syntax of C but nothing but static variables. Weird syntax to configure the chip the way you wanted. I can't even remember how you did I/O on it; must have been another weird extension to the syntax. It made it easier but not as much as you might think. -- Brian Gregory (in England).
