Post by thread:Suggestions Wanted to get started w/ PIC

Hi All, Simple question, What is the best way to get started w/ the PIC? A Parallax Basic Stamp that can be programed in BASIC? Or a PIC board that is programed in Assembly Language? What I would like to do after learning the in's/out's is control some stepper motors, servos, and do a little A/D. My experience level tells me to get the Basic Stamp, but I could learn the '84 also. Send me some suggetions, I would like to start messing around with a PIC soon...

Try a quick-pick at: http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~donmck/quickpic.html Don McKenzie spam_OUTdonmckTakeThisOuTlabyrinth.net.au DonTronics Tullamarine, Australia http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~donmck Picosaurus-74.

I may be biased, but I would suggest getting started with a PIC programmer and a PIC16C84. My company offers a package called the PIC-n-GO that includes our PIC-1 programmer and a PIC16C84 w/data sheet. It is available for only $45 in kit form or $65 assembled/tested. You can have a look at our web page at http://www.itutech.com for other PIC-related products. Good Luck! Chris ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris B.
