Hey ,
So I finally waded through tonnes of documentation and I think (hope) that I'm ready to start working on my USB mp3 project using the PIC24FJ64GB004.
I went to the microchip site (I cant find any local suppliers) and the development board (explorer) is **** expensive (I'm a student)... So I am wondering whether someone can tell me exactly what I need to program it.
For my previous projects I used locally made inexpensive development boards (for 8051 and atmgega). Are there any boards like that I can buy or circuits I can get made?
I saw something called a PICKIT 3 programmer. So you have to get it AND the Explorer or one of them will do ? Also, is it better or worse than the other programmers ?
The IC I'm using is QFN package ... So do they provide a plug in module that goes on the dev board or do I have to buy that separately ?
I hate that proteus doesnt support this IC :/ Or has a new library been added ? I couldnt find it.
There are just so many parts out there, I'm really confused.
Thanks
