Innovatus has now released the first public version of PICBots - A
Robotic Simulation. (0.90Beta)
PICBots is a robotic simulation. It allows you to write a control
program for a robot using any PIC compiler (or assembler) and then pit
these robots against each other (or against you) in the simulation.
It is an excellent educational tool for both embedded programming
using the PIC chip as well as principles of robotics.
Rather than go the "easy" way, PICBots was designed so that the
information you got was realistic (and limited). This forces you to
deal with the same problems that you would have with a "real" robot.
The hope is that at a later point in time, someone (perhaps us) will
actually create robots that use these same controls and these programs
can be played out in a physical arena!!
In PICBots each bot has a PIC16C74 processor which you can write
programs for.
