My friend, Jeff, who is not ham (His wife is...go figure) is a computer Linux geek and is trying to figure out how to program PIC computers. I told him the other day that some Hams use them all the time in projects. Not me...but some hams do. He is having some issues with finding

You may want to consider looking at the TI LaunchPad as well. The demo board is cheap (less than $5) and they are making a big push with them. http://www.ti.com/launchpad I'm just getting started with mine, but so far so good. On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 7:01 AM, R. Kevin Stover
