    I went with a P16F1827
    Has enough pins to do what I want. I also have MPLAB and a PICKIT3.
    Now to just figure out a simple code to make the 2x16 LCD say "Hello" in 4 bit mode.

    Follow the example in the manual. Just be sure to turn of any analog functions on the pins you use.

    I managed to write/copy a sample Basic code using Mikrobasic pro. But I think I also need a bootloader which I am still searching for.
    I have a USB UART that my computer and the program sees but it does not see the pic.
    Not sure if I need a 5th wire running from RST to MCLR on the Pic.

    Such fun learning a new endeavor.

    Most that I have found DO NOT support the 16F1827. May have to find a more common chip.
    Better yet, guess I need to learn C

    Curious.
    Why do you want a bootloader? I know they are handy but if you have a good programmer.......
