Thinking ahead, sorry to tell you that the instruction sets are completely different.

Maybe, you could go straight to a demoboard with a PIC from the league you are interested in.

While the essential is still there, you need to get used to a new set of instructions, a hurdle you could avoid before starting. Wasting time is a concern, at least to me.

Good luck.

Hi, thanks for your reply. the dsPIC has a different instruction set as in there's no BSF, BCF, CLRF.. etc?.

Be brave and download any datasheet from the line. It took me no more than 3 minutes to have a look.

 

Would anyone know where would be a good place to buy a dsPIC33FJ32GP302 without having to pay an extra £7 for postage?

Thanks for pre warning me about the instructions, atferrari.

The Book I quoted in post #4 is fairly good, the author is Dr Huang and teaches computer science at Minnesota state Univ.
It has a chapter for each module of the 18F series, complete with exercises at the end of each chapter.
I have it in PDF or it is available used at AbeBooks from a few sources. ISBN 1-4018-3967-3.
The Picmicro site also has individual App notes on each module.

could I also get a copy PDF of this if you don't mind? I just the reviews for the book, they look great.

 

PM an ADD.

Apparently you have your PM disabled, I need an email add if you need a copy!

I must have activated my PM 100x but is not going through, my e-mail is <SNIP>
thanks!

 

Post to this thread one more time. Maybe you have to reach 10 posts before your PM becomes active.
