Hi, I'm absolutely new to pics. I work as an electronics/IT tech. Gotta spend some money before the end of the budget year. I do not not have much time to do the research into what I should buy. What I need basically I think is a starter kit, developement kit and the chips. Preferably from from RS components CPC Farnell, Maplin Any other UK based company. If it is the sole supplier. I am in the UK. I just want to expand my workshop into working with pics. I hope somebody can direct me . Otherwise, I'm gonna buy the wrong stuff.
