Hi mackrackit,

Hard economics for me I'm afraid, I'm a carer.

I appreciate what you're saying and this forum, I really do and I don't want to cause an upset.

The difference in pricing from Mec & Corn means I can buy a PICkit2 and a
USB/serial cable for the difference, without upsetting the wife.

Have you considered using free tools?

That sounds like a demanding job.

It has it's moments (usually several a day) that said it's very rewarding.

I bet playing with MCUs is a good way to get your mind off it at the end of the day.

100%, I love it. We all need an interest. In a funny sort of way PIC's are very similar to us humans. They both input and output and if something goes wrong in between then there's a problem that needs sorting.

When you asked what PIC's I had the other day.Were you thinking of any I should have in particular?

I was just wondering so we could make lessons to match your hardware...

Well, I'm going for the PRO_version asap. So by the end of next week I'm hoping I can pretty much use any PIC (within the confines of the PICkit1) I like.

If you let me know what you think I'll need I can order it in.

I really appreciate what you're doing by the way.

Economics, yup, know what you mean.

No upset here, many buy from mecanique, I did not know that they are selling PBP for 20 less than Crownhill. Interesting... I have seen complaints about mecanique here, but as long as they deliver... Maybe someone else will chime in about this.

I was looking at this http://www.myamicus.co.uk/ as an alternative but it is only for a 18F25K20 and I do not know much about it yet. I am not recommending, just showing a possible option...
