Help!
The problem - I know NOTHING about electronics, BUT I am
a programmer and I am in need of a special board with
a microcontroller that I can program.

This is what I need:
1 : A board with a socket for a PIC16C73/71/84.
    All components that are reuired to make it run.(Oscillators, resistors,
     voltage regulators.....whatever)
     A 9-pin serial connection that I can connect to my PC RS-232 port.
     A terminal for supplying the whole setup with +5v.
     Terminals for connecting 4 voltages to the A/D channels.

     What I want to do is program the pic to sample voltages at a
     programmable frequency, do some
     calculations and then send the data to the pc via the serial port(after
     issuing an interrupt).It is all for experimental use so it does not have to look              good or anything. Everything should be on one board with room
     enough if I have to add any components.

 2. A fully built and tested programmer for the PIC that I would use
for the above application with     development tools.


This is what I need help with, please:
1. Pls suggest the optimal PIC-chip for me.
   It should require as few other components as possible to do the job
   and it must not be expensive. Having to program the serial I/O is ok by me
   if it means that I can use a cheaper PIC.

2. Could someone please supply me with a board layout that
    could work for my application?! Just a simple sketch with components
   and how they are connected will do.

3. Pls suggest a programmer/development tool suitable for the PIC.
    

 What do You think? Problems?
 Other suggestions/solutions?

 Thanks & Regards
