hello, i'm new here, and i was wondering what a PIC, or any other microcontroller is made of (a diagram, or picture would be great). i have done searching and i think i found the answer a (bunch of transistors), however i may be wrong, and i still don't see how a bunch of electronic components can perform functions like adding, and timing/ticking. i also don't see how a bunch of these components can be programmed which brings me to my next question, i just bought **broken link removed** PIC programmer, and currently have an 18F2550 PIC attached to it. i have no clue how to even access it to program it so a tutorial would be extremely helpful if anyone has an thing like that.
