Hi. I am new to this list. I am experienced with assembly and using chips such as the 8085 and Motorola 68000 and a recent graduate of electronic engineering. I have been reading my butt off on the topic of PICS and have a programmer and MPLAB and software for simulation. My question is this: For the wide range of PICmicro's I might work with, what would anyone suggest for a good component and tool base to begin working with (crystals, caps..and such.) Thanks for any help. ~Chris _______________________________________________ http://www.piclist.com View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
