Which PIC?
« on: September 16, 2011, 06:49:52 am »
I'm going to start my first real electronics project, circuit design and programming.  I've assembled a few kits, but I want to make a nixie clock.  I have decided to get a Pickit 3, and have no idea which pic to use.  If someone could point out a chip that I can use for various projects for the next few years I would appreciate it.  I've hand soldered surface mounted microcontrollers in the past, so the package isn't a big issue.
Thanks,
Derek

If your planning on coding in C then you might like to check out Shane Tolmie's site http://www.microchipc.com/ which has lots of examples of coding PIC's in C

18f are certainly better but if you want something really simple theres also the 16f series
