Hi guys. I am VERY new to MicroControllers, and I have no idea how to start. I think this would be a fun hobby and I had a few questions. I am trying to program a very basic PIC that will toggle through the alaphabet on a LCD screen, and display the letters on a 5x3 series of LED lights. I would like to keep this as small as possible. I drew a diagram to better explain what I am trying to do. http://www.nabble.com/user-files/171/PIChelp.bmp PIChelp.bmp Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not sure where to start, but I have a basic understanding of what is needed. (ie a PIC, program software, LEDs, a LCD and a power supply) I am not sure what kind of PIC to get, or what software. If I need to explain myself better, please just ask. Thanks for all the help! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/NEED-HELP-basic-PIC-programming-tf2030953.html#a5586776 Sent from the MicroControllers - PIC forum at Nabble.com. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
