Indeed: http://panteltje.com/panteltje/pic/jppp18/index.html >It is quite cute to make designs fully in circuit programmable. Doing that puts restrictions on I/O pins. Low voltage programming sucks up an other I/O pin. That is why I use high voltage programming only. And leave the low voltage stuff to the unwary :-) >Regards, >Martin Brown Now life on Enceladus?

From: coldfeet on 24 Feb 2010 18:26 Hey, thanks for all the info. Yes, I did mean any micro controller. I guess PIC was the first one I learned about. The Arduino looks pretty cool but I am leaning towards the PICkit 2. I may have to pick up the Arduino just to play with. The PICaxe also looks good but I think I would have a hard time deciding what exactly to buy. The PICkit 2 looks like it comes in an "everything I need" package. Also, special thanks to David for the vblogs even though it was 90% rant. It helps to see someone hold up the product and talk about it. It would have been really great if you had demonstrated the products for us. I know it would probably seem inane but seeing someone plug one in, write a short program, display the interface, etc. would probably answer a lot of questions that I hadn't thought to ask.

I'm sure if you search Youtube or other places you'll find plenty of practical videos on using the PICkit.
