PIC Microcontroller Wiki

Welcome to the PIC Microcontroller Wiki in Simple English.

This Wiki adresses the PIC microcontrollers of Microchip, even for hobbyists beside the Atmel AVR the most popular controllers of the world. A first start is possible with only a few Euro or Dollar. The final target of the Wiki is to provide the knowledges and skills for this purpose and for the advanced users as well.

This Wiki takes into account, that it is read from people all over the world, who are possibly no native speakers. Thus it is written in a Simple English wherever possible. Every native speaker is begged to take care.

At present this Wiki is available in Simple English and in Simple German. If the Simple English Page is established so far, contributors of other Simple languages can take off.

Special tips, tricks and workarounds should always be added at the end of the related article with the subtitle "Tips and Tricks".

This Wiki was initiated by Tirkon.
