My first project with the Amicus18 Board (a DS18B20 temperature sensor)

The Amicus18 is basically an Arduino clone, but for PICs. Probably the best part of the whole ordeal is that the Amicus IDE is actually a full version of the powerful Proton IDE, though its restricted to the 18F25K20 (that's what the Amicus18 has).

I recently grabbed one and wanted to see how things tick. I had a spare DS18B20 sitting around, and thought it would do the job fine.

The IDE was very easy to use, (I am familiar with Proton PDS, so that was a given) - though I was well impressed by the seamless integration the Amicus IDE has with the Amicus18 board.

No external programmers/connectors, just plug it in and start coding! Here's a video of just that:

Thank you Gramo. I look forward to reading your article.

Cheerful regards, Mike

Good job, I would like to try Amicus18 someday.
