AI Thread Summary
For beginners learning about PIC, it's recommended to explore development boards from manufacturers like Microchip, Atmel, and Arduino, with Microchip being more prevalent in industry applications. Development kits typically include everything needed to start programming. Arduino offers a more user-friendly, plug-and-play experience, while Microchip and Atmel provide versatile options for more advanced learning. It's beneficial to choose equipment that balances cost and functionality for future projects. Overall, investing in a development kit is a solid starting point for anyone interested in PIC programming.

Hey

I have decided to learn about PIC, but I could use some tips when it comes to compilers, programming boards and the other basic stuff you need to do all the things a beginner would like to do with PICs. I'm planning on learning more than just the basic stuff, so gear that is versatile may be preferable if the cost isn't too high.

Thank you :biggrin:

Manufacturers sell development boards which are kits that have everything you need to get started with programming. Check the ones out by Microchip, Atmel, and Arduino. Arduino is more of a plug-and-play affair as far as I know. Industry uses either Microchip or Atmel, but more so the former I think.
 
Thank you! I was thinking about buying one of those kits, but I wanted to check twice and get somebody else's opinion. Your answer was very helpful. :smile:
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
