I bought the PICDEM2 + the Microchip ICD2 and was 110% satisfied. It has sockets for 18, 28 and 40 pin dip PICs, LEDs, an LCD, pot, switches, temp sensor, I2C chips, proto area, etc. You can get up to speed immediately with this coupled with the ICD2. If you want to teach the tech PIC stuff, especially if you have designed PIC16 and PIC18 stuff, this will make it easy. http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en010072&part=DM163022 -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
