[sdiy] PIC Programming

[Ian Smith]

Hey Jay,

My background in programming is a fairly decent understanding of C++ and some dabbling with the Arduino flavor of C.

I ordered the "PIC Programmer: USB connection" from Futurlec: http://www.futurlec.com/PIC_Programmer.shtml

and I ordered a pair of PIC 12F509s and a pair of 16F688s

-Ian

The SW is not the fastest and the break points aren't always right (in a lot of embedded environments this is normal) but the tools have always been good enough to get the job done.
