But I thought it was the PIC12C508A, that can only be programmed once?
The PIC12F508-I/SN is alright, isn't it?

The PIC12F508 looks good for your project, but it's not loaded with peripherals - that might become useful for future projects (ADCs, PWM) - and has a two levels stack. I would buy some PIC12F683s too (my personal favourite). |

Also the 16f54 is even more obsolete than the 16f84 - why don't you just get a 16f628?

Because at £1.99, it's over three times as expensive and that's only for the PIC16F628-04/SO, the PIC16F628-04I/SS is £2.36 and I'm not paying that.

Cost wouldn't be a problem if I only wanted to buy one but I want to get a few so I can practice using them and I don't want to buy expensive PICs in case I ruin them.
