They're based on your (gramo) examples. I've been wanting to use Swordfish with the Mongoose kit PIC18F2525. Too bad no debug support though but it seems like a very nice compiler. I use Swordfish's own editor and the PICkit 2 standalone software (program on push button works like a charm
)
I guess what I'm trying to say to shaneshane1 is the PICAxe is interesting and certainly better than a BASIC Stamp but a good PIC compiler
like Swordfish beats them both.
