Applied PIC Micro Development

introduction the subject of embedded development is a diverse topic that covers a variety of devices, architectures, and applications when investigating the subject, it is overwhelming considering the available options; you would need to choose a manufacturer, a device architecture, and then a family of devices to make the journey easier, we invite you to consider the pic16f18xxx ( recommended devices docid\ p2y65rcbj1tb9 9az6j7o ) family of devices as a starting point to get you started the family is manufactured by microchip, a manufacturer based in chandler, arizona usa the devices are 8 bit, with a number of devices in the family from 20 pin to 44 pin devices the advantage of a family with a wide range of package options is that an application's code can be migrated between devices this reduces the amount of time to develop the application, the time to update or adjust the code, and adapt a project to changing specifications the other option is that familiarity with a family can have advantages as its easier to debug issues, work with nuances, and ultimately leverage the best the device has to offer getting started there are many stores where you can obtain what you need to get started, and this is perhaps where your patience will be tested with budget and delivery times getting your toolkit together does require a budget, and we will step you through what you need please refer to your tool box docid\ oq oqws sg2tdit0hdnfl
