Hello Jan, greetings,

i found that what you want to do is very interesting.
I myself gave a course on PICs, for a class of teatchers that will teach
youngsters, and got a good feedback. Its always nice to be involved in this
kind of activities.

As you are in doubdt of the hardware to use, let me give a light on what i
have to present to you.
It may be of your interest.

This is the main page for the Development Kit,
http://www.primetec.pt/products.php?sec=2&cat=1&prod=6&lang=en

From the http://www.primetec.pt/index_en.php root page.


I would like to hear some feedback from you, as it may bring some thoughts
and ideas, probably some considerations.
Many thanks

Antonio Sergio Sena
