Step 1: What You Will Need

Here is a list of everything you'll need to get started with PIC microcontrollers. These suggestions are my opinion. There are other options available to you. If you know what those options are, go for it. If you are new to PIC Microcontrollers, then here are my recommendations.

If you don't have some of these things, or don't know what they are, more information is available about where and how to get them. Click on any item in the list if you want more information on that item.
