Dear sunset97 I suggest you do a whole load of study. A beginners guide to the microchip PIC, by Nigel Gardner is very good. Also visit www.microchip.com and order a copy of the MICROCHIP TECHNICAL LIBRARY CD-ROM it's free and you WILL need it. I'm sorry but there are no short cuts. Do come back when you have a specifice question Good luck Petra. ----- Original Message ----- From: "sunset97" To: Sent: 04 January 2001 23:50 Subject: new user - help > HI > > i've never used a pic and i could use a suggestion from anyone on which i need > to get > > i need it to have about 14 I/O lines and a serial port that i can connect to a > sound module kit to control the sound module > > what do you think? > can i have a serial I/O and the actual lines to go directly into other > circuits. > > thanks so much for your help.. :-) > > -- > http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different > ways.
