There is an electronics IRC channel in #Electronics on EFNet. We're trying to get more regulars, so come in and get/give help if you get a chance. We discuss all sorts of electronics including PICs.

IRC is not a site, it's the internet equivalent of the C.B (Citizen band). You can see it as a "multi people public talker" To access this online chat relay, you need to find a software dedicated to IRC, run it while you are connected and then you can go and listen (thus participate) to the channel you are interested in. I think there are some instructions and syntax proper to IRC to know to be able to move between channels and to send a question or a message. Hope this help... Gael

IRC will let you talk to thousands of people worldwide, in real-time. You need an IRC client to connect to a server, you can get clients and FAQs from http://www.irchelp.org. The electronics channel is #Electronics on the EFNet IRC network.

We discuss all sorts of electronics including PICs. > Please try this IRC channel, you need an IRC client (I recommend PIRCH or MIRC, you can download them from the web from several sites, search for their names in a browser) and connect to a server that's part of the EFNET, like: irc.epix.net irc.colorado.edu irc.stealth.net irc1.cerf.net the area is called #electronics. I sometimes connect at about 7 AM GMT, hope I find some of you next time. Regards! Andres Djordjalian .....adjordjKILLspam.....aleph.fi.uba.ar

I really hate to even add to this......cuz its not even pic related.... but....I hate IRC....unless you can ban others from the channel...you tend to get very imature people coming into it. There used to be a channel for ham radio. I went once. Never again. If the response is too slow for mail lists...there is also ICQ, which offers real time connections.
