[edit] MicroChip

The (in)famous MicroChip PIC chip is used to power many of our robots. Popular PIC chips include the 16F and 18F series.

[edit] C Compilers

There are a number of free or cheap BASIC or C compilers available for these chipsets (usually for the 16F).

• CC5X C compiler
• PICC Lite C compiler by Hi-Tech.
• SourceBoost BoostC compiler
• SDCC open source C compiler that does other chips too!

[edit] Programmers

• microEngineering Labs has low cost PIC programmers of all kinds.
