Hi matt redmond,
I'm new to PIC too, I've basic in-circuit 16Fxxx programmer kit(make my
own), don't know which project to start-on .you give me a good idea to start
with, can we share the info for this project? two brains better than one, I
think.

although I've experience with electronics project but no  experience with
PIC.

regards
CL Low

Hi All,

I'm just now ready to get started playing with PICs.  My
experience with electronics is very limited, though I
understand the basics.  I am generally interested in doing
the following with PICs:  Interfacing a numeric (3x4)
keypad, controlling LEDs and LCDs, communicating with
external devices via RS232 and communicating with a PC via
IrDA.  So, can y'all recommend decent versions of the
following:

1.  A C to PIC compiler
2.  A programmer suitable for use with a wide range of
flash PICs.  I'm partial to USB but it isn't really
necessary.  I think Parallel bites & would like to avoid
it.
3.  A PIC simulator

I'd love to be able to do in-circuit debugging but I guess
it's really not necessary unless there is some consensus
that it is.

This is just hobby stuff & I /am/ on a budget - I can't be
blowing a thousand bucks on all this stuff.

TIA!

-matt redmond
