I saw this $10 Microchip PIC demo board on eBay and thought it would be a good basis for some PIC programming tutorials. Of course you also need a programmer, but there are some cheap clone programmers on eBay too. Watch me faff about for 24 minutes trying to get my own program into the PIC12F675.

    How about a series on this with the new pic-as in mplabx 5.5?

    Another eBay faff board, but its cheap and fun so all good 🙂

    thank you for posting. i enjoy your videos. at about minute 16, you refer coupla times to '14-bit words'. did you perhaps mean to say '12-bit words' ? i'm just starting to work w/ pic10f200, and it programs instructions as 12-bit words. take care & stay safe.

    Hello sir, in my case gpio0 and gpio1 are not working as an imput.. pin level is not changing from 0, can you please suggest .. thanks in advance

    I just received one of these. And on first power-up I had two blinking LEDs.D1 and D2.

    All that I want to know right now is how to reprogram the 675's analogue inputs to be digital inputs?

    For some reason, the instructions which I've been using don't seem to work, and I'm no beginner when it comes to machine code.

    Hi Julian, how are you? I would like to know if you have schematic about this board, could you share please? Cheers

    steel wool works way better then the wet sponge plus it lasts a lot longer and no adding water or anything

    I'm such a cheapskate, wish I had the schematic for the board so I could solder one up!

    Mind you, i don't think i'll be printing the128 page datasheet!

    Got the dev board from eBay at 5,39 euros, should be here soon. Bought a couple of extra PICs locally (Germany) to stick in stuff and in case I blow one up. Same deal with Pickit 3 clone. But I am going to build a perf board dev board as well – because its fun.
