A Microchip PIC development board for the tiny SOT-23 6-pin 10F322. It doesn't have a lot of memory, but the range of peripherals is mind boggling.

Hello sir
How to get microchip tool
Have you found a 3 pin version yet?
Cool! Got to love these tiny PICs. I made a video some time ago with the PIC10F206, same pinout but much weaker. Quite a challenge to make it do something useful. Subscribed etc. 🙂
Can you help I'm trying to get a copy of CLC exe. I can't find it any where it seems it's now part of the mplab ide. Steve
PICs are awesome, but the pickit 3 is so expensive in germany and there are no tutorials for them.
I bought some of these chips in both sizes (the tiny ones and also the ones that resemble an Attiny85). One thing I can say about the tiny ones is that they are tough little units. I have one that has survived 4 horribly botched attempts at soldering it to breakout boards. I mean, I've really tortured the poor little thing. Finally got it properly connected on a new board and it programs and runs flawlessly. Very energy efficient, as we might assume, and cheap. Bought these from Dgjikey or Mouser (can't recall which offhand. They shipped quickly and were very, very inexpensive. Appears to me that the larger, Attiny85-looking one is a perfect do-practically-anything kludge for projects that must be completed by a deadline. With that logic facility, paired with the regular programming these processors can make up for a lot of design oversights, if one discovers those at the last minute. Wish I'd had a half dozen of these a couple of years back.
I came to discover they make this chip in the PIC10F322-I/OT format, which is on your dev board, but also as PIC10F322-I/P which looks exactly like an ATtiny85 (Atmel) in the famously breadboard friendly PDIP-8 format — and in fact is about the same price as an ATtiny85. Cheap, in other words. After watching this, Julian, I figured I'd gone long enough without a PICKit 3 and these hybrid CPLD/Microprocessors. So I ordered 10 of each chip with the programmer. Did I say they were cheap? I ordered breakouts for the little bitty ones, also cheap, because they use quite a bit less power than the monstrous PDIP-8s. And get this, I'm four for four so far in soldering the chips to the breakouts. Great fun.
I've just found your channel and I've watched quite a few of your vids, I'm interested in seeing what you get out of this chip.
I was getting back in to electronics about 10 years ago then stopped, times move very fast, I feel I should jump back in before I never do.
Julian, I've been watching your channel for a while and have learned loads but this is the first time I have been so excited by the impending discoveries you're about to show us that I feel the need to comment and say THANK YOU!
I got into Arduino a couple of years ago and am just up to designing my own simple PCBs for ATtiny85s and perhaps even an ATMEGA328P but what you have shown us in this episode has opened my eyes wide open to the potential for PIC, especially as they are cheap and low power. From your summary, I couldn't see the ability to do SPI or I2C communication with peripherals, e.g. temperature sensors. Do small PICs have these features generally or is it just lacking in the 10F322?
Thanks again!
Julian may I suggest if you already haven't, check out Charles Lohr's Channel CHLohr is the name. Epic skills with ESP8266 and Arduinos and ATTiny's Etc…. You may learn something, as I have from both channels! So Thank You
