Re: Pololu Dual Serial Motor Controller
PBP was written originally as a way to control PICs with the same mnemonics as the basic stamp, so people who got their start on stamps could go with PICs without a huge learning curve. to that end it is a great success. The code listed in the controller's data sheet is the same as PBP, so what you need to write is the "setup" code for YOUR PIC of choice. If you are a very new programmer, I would suggest something rather easy at first like a 16F648A. This pic is in the same Data sheet as the 16F628a but has more code space, and is just about the same price. Beginners usually are directed by books to the 16F84 because it has No Analog functions to disable, but we will get you through all that, the old grandpa F84 chip is too expensive for what you get. The 16F648A is the same pinout and footprint. To disable the analog comparators just add cmcon = 7. in your code. The advantages of PIC over stamp is price and speed.
