- PIC projects at MIT
Several projects at MIT's media lab use PICs particularly the PIC16C84. For example: R. Dunbar Poor's "personal" interface board called the iRX 2.0; and the Cricket project (tiny communicating robots) from Fred Martin. Elsewhere at MIT Randy Sargent has developed a PIC simulator/assembler for UNIX.

Pot-Pourri
A PIC macro-assembler called ASPIC. How to control LCD modules including a PIC example. (I wrote a C program to test a Hitachi LCD module by hanging it off a PC parallel port but see Randy Rasa's LCD project page for a more comprehensive version.) Although Dave Negro doesn't specifically mention PICs, his page is a good place to start looking for IR remote control information. Mark Sullivan provides an automatic PIC code generator for infix expressions. A very nice looking programmer powered by a PC parallel port. There are FTP sites devoted to the PIC in Finland - ftp.funet.fi (look in burners and pictools for some PIC development tools for Linux) - plus a couple in Sweden - ftp.sics.se and ftp.luth.se (where you can grab a PD C compiler for the PIC16C84 and PIC projects for R/C models by Ken Hewitt and Phillipe Techer). A PIC-based servo controller from Rick Farmer. A PIC16C54 metronome in C. Tom Coonan's synthetic PIC - a VHDL model of a PIC. A Stamp based rocket altimeter. PIC information mostly culled from Usenet. PIC programs to accompany Maxim Application Notes on an inclinometer and battery charger.
