Being a newbie to PIC's and microelectronics in general, i stumbled across this ml, and hope that someone might be able to point me in hte right direction for information / tutorials etc I found out about pics whilst asking people how i might go about constructing a PC interface relay card This looks to be far more complicated than i originally thought, but if anyone has ever constructed something similar, i would greatly appreciate any information you could give me. Any suggestions for simple beginning projects? i thought perhaps a timer or counter (something simulatable preferably, as i have only limited access to a programmer) Thanks in advance Tom Feist bisti@*globalnet*.co.uk (remove *'s to reply)
