Hey everyone,

I just recently purchased MCSP and PBP hoping to program my PIC in BASIC.

What's the easiest way to get started on something that's NOT a development board? I'm hoping to program for PIC18F25K22 and PIC18LF45J50, both of which are supported devices.

I am transitioning over from MPLAB X with my PICkit 3.

I have looked over some sample programs, and each come with different syntaxes. What's the best practice for defining oscillator settings, and turning on its peripherals, such as SPI, I2C, etc. ?
