This page is to enable those who want to expriment with PIC micro controllers to get started at a very low cost. The file picprog.zip contains the circuit diagram and the software for a very simple and cheap PIC programmer, this programmer can be constructed for as little as £5.00 ukp.

The programmer is not my design it was one I found on the web, the PIP02 programming software was also found on the web, but it took a little while to get them working togeather. For developement software I suggest that you go to the Microchip web page and down load thier MPASM DOS assembler, and use note pad or a DOS edit as your text editor for writting source code.

I have also included here a sample of PIC source code that is specific to radio control, it will read an input pulse and also output one, what you do with it in between is up to you.
