Hello all,
I've been a programmer for many years (mostly higher level languages) but I do have some experience with 16-bit x86 assembly and the M68HC11 microcontroller. I've decided to learn how to program PICs and I'm looking to sample a few from the microchip website but there are so many to choose from. What chip would you recommend to a beginner? I'd ideally like to have a few ADC inputs and DAC outputs for use eventually. I am trying to decide which PIC programmer to buy, and I want to make sure I buy something that will support my later needs. Will I likely use the 18F series? If you were to buy a PIC programmer today what is the highest chip it would need to support? Thanks for your time! Happy Holidays!
