I've ordered a few of the Simmsticks from
www.dontronics.com and played with them. They use the PIC chips. I was thinking of doing a data acquisition system for the race car. Got too involved with raising kids and trying to get a larger house to get very far.
I did try C compiler I liked a lot (WIZ-C from Fed). Definitely better than trying to work directly with assembly, ugh!
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
