Re: getting started on C programming on PIC16F628A, PIC16F690, OR PIC18F2620

I'm trying to get started with C programming on either one of the PIC
microcontrollers in MPLAB IDE using C18 compiler (or any other C
compiler that Microchip makes), however, I'm having some trouble
drafting a source code that has, for example, LEDs flashing or display
a "Hello World" message through printf() and in such fashion that I
can see it on a host computer. Does anyone know any good resources in
those tasks that could help me get started?

Microchip has a section of their web forum dedicated to the MPLAB C18
compiler at: http://forum.microchip.com/tt.aspx?forumid=3

That's probably the best place to start. Try some of the examples included
with C18 on install, and if you have questions, ask them on the C18 forum.

There are plenty of helpful folks on the C18 forum that can help you get started.
