| These chips are relatively cheap and easy to get. |
| These chips can be programmed and re-programmed electrically with simple circuits, and without the need for an UV-eraser (they contain EEPROM or Flash-ROM); |
| Data sheets, application notes and (assmbler) development software is freely available from Microchip; |
| There are lots of web pages devoted to these controllers, including (free) designs for simple programming hardware. |
On this website you can find a number of PICmicro resources:
| Start With PICs: read this before you start using PICs |
| Tools: a compiler (Jal), programmers (Wisp, Wisp628) and an alternative for using a programmer (WLoader) |
| Projects: some designs that use a PIC |
| Miscellaneous: some other stuff, including a simple course for starting with the - now obsolete - 16x84 |
| Microchip: for PICmicro datasheet, application notes, the MPLAB assembler development environment. | |
|
| Ubicom: for SX datasheet, application notes etc. | |
| The PIClist website (follow the PIC FAQ link) contains a wealth of information and links to resources. When you can not find what you are looking for on the site you can always ask your question on the list itself. | |

![]() | The SX is a PIC clone on steriods manufactured by Ubicom. A typical PIC runs at 5 MIPS maximum, SX chips run at 50, 75 or 100 MIPS. The SXwebring links a number of SX-related websites. | |
