I just got the pickit 2 and the low pin demo board with the 16f690 chip and I have the mechatronics board with the 16f917 chip. I want to build 2 different projects:
1. I would like to build a light sensing base that will follow the sun. I want to mount solar panels on it.
2. I want to build a robot out of an r/c truck that will drive around and avoid walls. Or something similar.
Now I have searched alot and have not seen any robot made with either of these chips and not many robots with any of the "pic" chips. Why is this?
