Default Recommend a PIC development system?
I want to get into PIC development. I see ads from Circuit-ED.com for the EasyPIC4 system. Has anyone worked with this, is it recommended, if not, what would you recommend? I want something with lots of experiments, projects, examples, etc., using 8- to 40-pin PIC's.

Thanks.

You might try my modular PIC tutorials? - it's more versatile than a development board - and cheap to build.

Well I just received the EasyPIC4 PIC development system from the Serbian company Mikroelektronika. A very polished product, highly recommended. Saves me the trouble of building one, too.

Nigel, I've already started trying out your PIC tutorials, they're very helpful. Thanks.

Friends,

Thanks for all your efforts to bring me into the controller world. At least in this group, the PIC is the range you are all behind. I should be able to do well with your suggestions.

My first efforts will be to get an mp3 chip to play, then record. I will report my progress at the first sign.

Most people on here speak English; there are very few who will be able to navigate the Chinese only interface.

lol mikroElektronika

Orignal:
BIGPIC5 Development Board | mikroElektronika

Clone:
PIC Microchip MCU Development Tools Board + Programmer(QL200)


I would get the clone tho ... mainly because it takes DIP pics. No special 100pin plugins lol (which they sell for $5)


They even have:

PICKIT 2 Clone:
PIC KIT2 pickit2 PICKIT 2 USB PIC Development Tool Programmer & Debugger for Microchip MCU

dsPIC clone:
PIC Microchip 16bit MCU Development Board QLdsPIC3

Even on ebay:
AVR ATmega 64 / 128 QFP64 TQFP64 ISP Programmer Adapter - eBay (item 290289182984 end time Jan-20-09 00:39:27 PST) (I LIKE THIS!!!)

Their products seem really expensive for made in China. Mind you the Chinese board comes with the LCDs etc, which the Mikro board does not.

While looking, I came across this shister, selling Sure Electronics (China) as USA. I found this by taking a look at one of his images, which he forgot to change the name of.

9" Db Side prototype MCU Develop Board PCB + Conn. *USA - eBay (item 140222177597 end time Jan-30-09 14:45:10 PST)

looking at the language on the page, it is probably a Chinese Person, selling Sure on ebay, going to make a fortune.

Lots of gouging going on on Ebay these days. Be very careful buying on ebay.

I think he is right though:
