Hi, I have looked around a lot but haven't found what I am looking for. I am looking for a "complete guide" to programming a pic. That includes making a programmer and choosing what software you need to get started.
I am a complete noob with MCUs. I have some pics (16f84a and 16f690) but no way to program them. I am looking at http://www.diylife.com/2008/02/15/program-a-pic-microcontroller/
for my physical programmer. Will that work? I will use a USB to Serial cable to connect it to my computer. Will that work?
For software, I have no idea. All I know is that I want to program in BASIC. What programmer and what compiler should I use? Is it even possible to program a JDM programmer with BASIC?
Thanks
William
