hi Mike,
Rem: that N-m query.
In an idle moment, I figured that if you held out at full arms length, two 750mL cans of fourX larger that would be 1.5N-m.

No many people know that. EDIT: Cr*p, I forgot about Nigel.! I guess he would know...

Did you see my correction from Ojisan >> Ojiisan.?

There are many different C compilers from different vendors, different countries, however, a good one does save time.

Sometime, it is so hard to find one.
Especially for the newest chips, e.g. the dsPICs. I tried both Microchip C30 and Hi-tech DSPICC, both of them are too buggy to be trusted for right now.

Anyone has a good recommendation?

I heard Hi-Tech's C is no longer as good as it was before... can't confirm myself.

I use C30... and yeah sometimes it's a bit buggy depending what you want to do. Sometimes it's not a compiler issue.. but one of those 4575445 errata and/or silicone release

What kind of issue you got with C30?

There's still MikroElektronika MikroC for DsPIC30/33 and PIC24... never tried it myself...

I like their development board though.
