hello,
i am "grown" up with pic from microchip.com.
i don´t really know much about atmels avr ´s
is there out an port for run Arduino on an PIC controller?
thank you
sincerly yours tobias strassen
ps. is it able to port it myself cause of the open source ? or is it forbidden by the license.
I would think it would be technically possible to run Arduino code on a PIC, but it would take a lot of work to do the port and I doubt it would be worth the effort. One of the advantages of Arduino is availability of all kinds of hardware and add-on shields that work with the software – getting this hardware to work on a PIC would be a significant challenge.
If you are programming in C there should be no problem simply moving to Arduino as it is. Jump in, the waters fine 
The first step to get PIC support would likely involve developing a "pic-gcc" toolchain. 
This is a fairly complicated task to be undertaken by compiler writers.
Much of the Arduino toolset is the avr-gcc toolchain. Arduino libraries are built on top of that, and the GUI designed to interface with it all. No such toolchain is available for the PIC that I know of.

Hi all
recently, the french revue "GNU Linux Magazine" has presented "Pinguino" which is a little board with a PIC which takes the philosophy of Arduino, the same language and a GUI which is also the same. It is for the moment a begining but in the future it can be a bridge to Arduino. It will be possible to run sketches written for arduino on a PIC . I think with google you will find more informations on it
