Hi there
I am new to the forums. At age 16, just getting back into electronics after trying to do too much too soon with not enough understanding a few years earlier. One of the things I am having a go at is PIC development, something which completely stumped me 'back then' as I've been using Mac OS for years, which is pretty much devoid of PIC development tools!
Anyway, I think I've found my way around that. However, I have found that I am having to request free samples of randomly picked PICs - there are a vast amount, and the microchip website is rather unfriendly, if helpful. Is there, somewhere, a clean, friendly list of popular/useful PIC models, allowing easy comparison and filtering?
And if there is not, would it be useful to have one built? I am a fairly competent web developer how about a community-driven, friendly, filtrable index of PIC models?
Thanks a lot, looking forward to learning from this forum (and perhaps even imparting what little knowledge I have )
