Does anyone know of any software & hardware for the Amiga that would let me write and program PIC chips.
For a number of years now I have had a few little projects that I wanted to build for the Amiga but never got round to actually doing.
The main one I want to build first is a wireless joystick, having used the Cocolino mouse adapter for a number of years now, and realising that it's nothing more than a PIC chip controlling it, I started to convert an old competition pro joystick to work using the Cocolino device.
Using nothing more than the guts ripped from a cheap wireless mouse, it does work but only two input signals are available from it directly at boot up, these being the signals sent from the left & right mouse buttons.
Now a simple Amiga joystick only requires five signals from it to work, these of course being left, right, up, down & fire. So I don't think this should be too hard to achieve much like the Cocolino adapter.
Even if I have to write an Amiga based driver for it, (which I don't think I would need to) wouldn't be a problem, as I have already studied the Cocolino driver and optimized it for my own use, so writing a driver wouldn't be a problem.
I haven't been able to find any PIC programing software or hardware that would run on an A1200, I suppose though I could use my old iMac G4 (OSX 10.4.11) for this but would much rather do it all on the Amiga.
Anyone out their know or use such hardware on their miggy and where I can buy it.
