I've just ordered a PICkit 3 (which I found out became non supported in June..) because I thought I would like to give PIC a go.
Along with that I ordered a PIC16F877A-I/P DIP-40 and a PIC16F1615-I/P, because Google told me to. Am I missing something to get the same coding experience I got with my MSP430G2 board using Code Composer Studio? I REALLY liked that program, such a treat to watch all the registers change, when you are still trying to learn the MCU.
