Hewwo. I heard that you can use C++ to write programs for PICMicrocontrollers. Is this true and can anybody lead the leopard to a place where I may get some further info on this subject? Thankies very much. The leopard purrrrs and swishes his long furry tail.

Personnally i don't like it. The generated code is way to wastefull. If i rewrite a program in assembler to do the same it sometimes is 5 times smaller
 
Thank you, Exo.

Hi there. That is interesting about the assembler being smaller than C++. I do not know assembler and I am learning C++ for other reasons. Do you know of where I can find resources for learning and using assemblers? I would love to use and program these PICs as efficiently as I can. I thank you for your reply.

A 14 bit PIC only has 35 instructions (it's a RISC processor), so there's not many to learn.

The best way is probably to study existing code, which is basically what my PIC tutorials do, have a look at http://www.winpicprog.co.uk. Your first port of call for anything PIC should probably be the PICLIST - there's tons of code and help at http://www.piclist.com.
