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.......
