OK. It depends of course to some degree on
what you put into "to using the PIC"... :-)

Have you thought about language ?
(My personal opinion : Assembler to start with)

Those are mainly small programs to verify the hardware,
not that much to be "program examples" in general.
For one thing, they are written in JAL, which
you might want to think twice about before taking that
route.

What you need is a small "skelleton" code that arrange
the main parts of a typical application. Then you can
"fill-in-the-blanks" to create your own application.

And when you have written one app, you have the base
for any other app (at least on the same PIC).

I'll see what I have...

Yes, a blink-a-led program will probably
run on F627A, F628A and F648A.
