Hi, I would like to use a PIC to store some data and then be able to retrieve it by serial port and send it into a PC later on. Also, this data needs to save time information. By this I mean that I need to record how long (in hours, mins, sec) several different things have been in use. This is to be done by pressing different buttons for each task. I'm new to all of this and I would greatly appreciate any help on this on how to get started, which PIC to buy, how I can attatch the serial port, how to store that information...Thanks alot!
