lets all pull tpogether, and help me learn code!

[-=GST=- Nemisis (cs/cz)]

hello to all!,what i want to do is learn to code so i hope to start with something simple

is there a toturial, or would someone be so kind to do step by step for something like this:

start
|
wait 1
|
output 1
|
wait 1
|
stop

thanks loads!

You need to start with assembler, you can't use the other languages effectively without a reasonable knowledge of assembler. Assembler is also free! - which helps as well.

what is assembler and where can i get it from?

Download MPLAB from MicroChip, MPASM (the MicroChip assembler) is part of the package.

Assembly language translates directly into machine language. Machine language is a string of bits that the processor understands and can execute directly. Machine language is specific to each type of processor - each processor has a different set of commands that it can execute. Assembly is a nice text based way to specify machine language commands. The assembler is a computer program that reads through your assembly file and translates the assembly into binary machine language.

Assembly is the most direct way to program microcontrollers; it tells the microcontroller exactly what to do (what instruction to run and what memory locations to read or write). Higher level languages like C or Basic separate you from specifying each instruction and memory location. High level laguages are 'compiled' into assembly language which is then assembled into binary machine code.
