We live in an age of wonder... I can buy 32bit MIPS processor boards (aka PIC32) for $49. I am considering using one for my car computer project, but on this page at the moment I am only talking about using a PICKIT2 to control a keyboard.

2015-Jun I have a PICKIT3 around someplace now too! Lost it when we moved. Dang.

The chips

What I have around right now

  • PIC 18F25K20 (28 pin) compares well with the chip used for Arduino, the ATmega328p
  • PIC 16F873 (28 pin) pin compatible with the 18F25K20, but requires an external clock
  • PIC 16F628 (20 pin)
  • PIC 12F675 (8 pin)
  • PIC 12F629 (8 pin)
  • PIC 12F683 (8 pin)
  • PIC 12F1501 (8 pin)
  • PIC 10F322 (8 pin DIP, also available in 6 pin SOIC)
  • 24LC65 8Kx8 EEPROM
  • 8 MHz ceramic resonators
  • 4 MHz ceramic resonators
  • 32kHz xtals for slow but very low power operation (button cell powered data collectors)

Development tools

Hardware

I have a PICKIT 3 now. In fact, two. The older one came with a 18F* dev board, the new one came with a 10F322 board. The old one is... stored someplace probably or got lost in the move from Oregon. Drat.

I also have a PICKIT 2 purchased directly from Microchip. For $50 you get a development board, the programmer, and the software. http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en023805&redirects=pickit2

High Level Languages

C language

MPLAB XC: mostly free C compilers http://www.microchip.com/pagehandler/en_us/devtools/mplabxc/ Non-free options offer better optimizations. You get a 60 day eval on PRO level with the free version.

http://www.ccsinfo.com/picc.shtml C compilers starting at just $50.
