LOL You understood it the other way around like Mecanique did. Of course I'm not asking them to change PBP, that's out of their hands. Or is my wording wrong and I can't see the forest?

My title was: Beginner entry PIC in free version of MicroCode Studio‏
And my opening request was: Would it be possible to include the PIC 16F886 please?

I was asking if they could change their own product to help new folk that want to get in at minimal cost.

This MeLabs page
http://pbp3.com/devicelist?source=menubarDevice
lists 16F886, 18F2550, 18F25K20 and 18F25K22 for Experimenter.

This Mecanique page
http://www.mecanique.co.uk/code-stud...ICDModels.html
lists 16F877A, 18F25K20, 16F887, 18F452 and 18F4520 for the free version of MCS.

The only common PIC is the 18F25K20, and we see plenty of posts here of new people that are a bit lost in CONFIGs. Shoot, even some regulars got confused. Of course it's possible that the web information is obsolete, but I had nothing else to show him while googling on my phone while at the store.

EDIT: Oh wait:

MicroCode Studio simply puts a list of the supported devices in the drop-down box.
Are you saying PBP decides what the free version of Microcode Studio can support?
