The best approach would be not to use the 16F84.  At the very least use
the 16F628.  It does more, costs less, and has the same footprint.
Actually I recommend sticking to 18F PICs because these are easier to
learn, especially for those not already familiar with the PIC
architecture.

Doing motor control properly requires some understanding of the
electronics.  If they are just trying to get something done and don't
otherwise want to learn about microcontrollers, learning these details is
probably not worthwhile (or even possible).  In that case, create a few
canned setups and routines and show them how to use them at the higher
level.
