    Thud thud thud thud thud thud

    That's the noise of me banging my head on the desk...

    What's so difficult about

    RA0 EQU 0
    RA1 EQU 1

    etc.?

    I have no idea what you are on about. Doesn't mean it's not simple though.

      Sounds more like the start of Apocalypse Now to me.

        I think it is some sort of assembler code. Early man used to use that sort of thing on their abacuses.

          Why is this stuff still being taught? Or is the course title something like "Really old computer systems and how to cock about with them"?

            Because how can you expect to be a real engineer if you don't fully understand the processes involved?

            To the best of my knowledge, .NEt won't run on a PIC.

              We engineers (an me in particular) seem to spend quite a lot of time bit fiddling in assembler.

              Though it must be said that the PIC is a curiously unfriendly device with a peculiarly odd assembly language syntax.

                I seem to remember those from my uni days (Electronic Engineering).

                Good job I don't have anything to do with them these days...

                  Nor will most of the programs written by students for them!

                  Why can't it be done in an emulator? Would save a lot of faff and you still learn the principles.

                    I miss assembly language... haven't done anything much with it since writing some fast graphics, animation and 3D rendering routines for the ARM on the Archimedes in the early nineties.
