Thanks for sharing this! I have been doing Arduino stuff, but have some PICs and wanted to try my hand at controlling a nixie kit that I got that has a 74141 on each tube using a 40 pin PIC. I've started reading the JAL tutorial and it looks like just the thing for me. I eventually want to do assembly, but this seems like a great entrypoint into PICs.
