PICKit 1 Flash Starter Kit


Okay, so a few years back I bought the PICKit 1 Flash Starter Kit for 8-bit PIC programming.
Usb interface.  Programs 8 and 14-pin PICs with flash.  Now of course the 32-bit version is even cheaper, but it is still a neat board.  www.microchip.com

I had used it to build an antenna tuner.  I used Sony stereo remote to drive a motor back and forth; this would turn the VHF ring on my rabbit ears. It didn't work well, but it was fun to try.

I need to get back to basics so I will be trying some simple circuits:
Sonar
LEDs
Optical encoders
H-bridge
Servos
POV clock
anything else to justify my $50 purchase so many years back.
