SOFTWARE
Programming computers or microcontrollers is done using programming languages. There are hundreds of languages available, however our Microcontroller uses as special programming language which has been written for it based on the BASIC programming language. BASIC is easy to learn and remember.
The Viper currently uses the Basic Atom microcontroller, which uses a Microchip PIC16F876 that can hold a range of instructions to drive various electronic components. The data sheet for the Microchip PIC16F876 can be downloaded from the link at the bottom of this page.
Take a look at the BasicATOM software in action, the code that has been written on the screen shot is simple program to get the motor to spin clockwise for 5 seconds then anticlock wise for 5 seconds, then loop back through again, click on the image to enlarge!
