PIC Programmer

Here is PIC project idea which can be your first to try. The simplest (yet somewhat cool) thing you could think of was to program a 7-segment LED. And yes, You have to program each individual LED inside it to form the different numbers. The whole thing shouldn’t took more than 5 hours to think up, assemble, and program. And with a $1.44 PIC16F84, the cost to build it was less than $5 including everything.

In this video you will see the first project of an amateur PIC programmer. As you can see it is possible to make simple but interesting things even in your first project. The PIC used in this project is PIC16F84.
