New to PIC microcontrollers? The wiki has a bunch of resources to help you out:
- PIC quick start tutorials
- How to compile PIC projects and export firmware for a bootloader
- How to program a PIC with a programmer
- On Linux? So is MPLAB X (18F compilers now available)
18F compiler for Linux was available before, the problem was with Mac OS :)
There is still no support for the pickit 2??
No included support in MPLAB X but you can get the source files from Microchip site and compile for your system. I use that way.
