Hello TeeOneDee,
Some time ago I found a small tutorial (text) for Pinguino, it's on one of my hard drives. I will look for him today and send him to you, hoping it will help. I like your website too, it's nice.
Kind regards,

I attempted to learn coding in C, but I did not enjoy it and I did not get
very far. I really enjoy the hardware/construction side of the hobby better.
My brother is the programmer. In hopes of not having to lean on him so
much, I am attempting to access the large pool of Arduino projects through
Pinguino.
Resources that I have:
Windows 10.
I have developed several demo/breakout boards for PICs. Some of these
boards were built directly on the Pinguino format.
I have lots of PIC chips... 18F4550, 18F2550, 12F, 16F, etc.
I have lots of electronics soldering and test equipment.
I have installed the Pinguino IDE.
I have installed the bootloader on a 18F4550/40 pins.
I have selected as a first Pinguino project; a barometer. I have all of
the components to build it. The web page has the code:
https://simple-circuit.com/arduino-bmp280-sensor-lcd/
I am having difficulty finding structured Pinguino learning materials and
an active forum/community where I can ask questions. I have read about the
recent difficulties with the Pinguino website, so I am aware of those
details.
If there is not an active community, maybe there is an individual that
would be willing to help me? I know my way around MPLab X, so I don't think
that I will have any trouble with the Pinguino IDE, if I can get a few
questions answered. I just don't like writing lines of code. I would be
glad to share some of my bare boards, as a thank you, if you live in the
USA/Lower 48.
As an example, here are some of my questions:
- Once the code is compiled into a hex file, do I flash it directly
onto the chip that has the bootloader already on it? This second flash will
not over-write the bootloader?
- I am using a 18F4550/ 40 pins. Are the pins compatible by pin
number, or port designation?
- The Barometer is meant for an Uno board, which I think has fewer
than 40 pins. What do I need to do to adjust the code, for a difference in
pin count?
So, I am hoping some kind soul will be willing to tutor me, a bit. I don't
know, if I have my GitHub settings set correctly for you to send me a
private message. But, I will check back, here, to look for replies.
Thank you for your help and consideration.

Hello TeeOneDee,
This is the Pinguino tutorial. Unfortunately, the tutorial is in French, but I hope it will help anyway. If you're in trouble, I can help you to translate it.
Kind regards,
wyggdrasil
