Hey everybody,

Some good news: I have received a new logic analyser today, and with it came a load of PIC stuff. Some test boards, a PICKIT 1 and 2 (programmer/debuggers), and a whole lot of different controllers. This means I can finally start writing code.

I also got a license for a professional compiler, but I think I'll stick to the freely available one from Microchip, so that others can change and recompile the code if they need to.

But, because of the huge number of posts in this topic, I'm having some trouble getting a few things clear: which processor and hardware design are (most of you) using? I see a lot of people referring to "old designs", but which is the correct "old design" they are referring to?

Ofcourse, the software can be ported to other controllers (even non-PIC, or a different PIC series controller) later, but for initial development and testing, it would be very unpractical if we're using different controllers.
