Here I put a nice tutorial for the beginners. See how easy you can make things when you know this.

If you can tell me the types (numbers) of 8-pin or 16-pin microcontrollers that you are interested, I can try to assist you.

You can use the same multi-programmer for most of the PICs available today.

PIC12F509 is a popular 8-pin 4MHz Microcontroller. It has following features which made it widely used in the market today.
  • Program Memory Size: 1K x 12
  • Ram Size: 41 x 8
  • Number of I/O: 5
  • Package: 8 DIP
  • Speed: 4 MHz Internal Oscillator
  • Oscillator Type: XT, RC, INTRC
  • Standard Flash Program Memory
  • Baseline 12-bit Core With 33 Instructions and Two Stack Levels
  • 25 mA Source/Sink Current I/O
  • Low Power (100 nA) Sleep Current
  • One 8-bit Timer (TMR0)
  • Watchdog Timer (WDT)
  • In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) Capability
  • Power on Reset
  • Power-Saving Sleep Mode
You mentioned about 16-pin micros. List down the numbers that you are interested here.

You can find lots of useful information on 18-pin PIC16F84 microcontroller on this forum. Use search.

One thing for your note: As soon as you make one, make sure to add some photos here. Otherwise I can't believe that you are really going to start on micros. We always recommend 16F877A for your kind of youngsters who are starting on this field as we found it as a good micro in terms of stability, durability and reliability.

Magneto is the microcontroller specialist here with lots of practical experience in industrial automation both in Sri Lanka and overseas. He is a good trainer in this field as well so he will add some more ideas.

I don't know types (numbers) of PICs. :?
pls list some and give tutorials :D

Not possible brother. I have no time to do these things other than giving you tips ;)
Please don't commit us for the things you need to do. You must get on with it otherwise this will never happen.

I asked you to start with 16F84 or 16F877 since you'll be able to find them in any electronic shop and those are easy to handle. Once you learn the subject, you can think of moving to smaller packages like 12F or 12C series to minimize cost, power, etc....
