Before I built my PIC burner I swear there were a million PIC based projects I wanted to do, and now I can't remember what they were.

My first two PIC projects were the Electric Druid VCLFO and ADSR. They both went together easy and are really pretty awesome (especially the LFO).

any recomendations?

Crash:

I've seen some nice MIDI projects like Midi to Trigger, Midi to CV/Gate, Midi to (roland drum machine )sync. Plus all the Midibox stuff. Or were you thinking more along the lines of modular synth components? I suppose a voltage controlled digital oscillator would be possible with various waveforms. -Dan

Thanks for reminding me Mr. Antman!

That was one of the reasons I wanted a PIC burner in the fist place. I had forgotten.

Thanks Yusynth!

That sequencer looks awesome, and the midi2CV is interesting as well. It's half my MIDIBox MIDI2CV with about 1/8th of the parts.

For those of you who want to work with PIC micros, I would highly recommend that you buy a Pickit 3 programmer from Microchip. (Digikey part: DV164131-ND) I've built many serial and parallel PIC programmers over the years, and just replaced a more expensive (but less capable) commercial programmer.

Finally Microchip is offering affordable pro-grade tools at affordable prices. I highly recommend that newcomers to the PIC world invest in this tool. You will save yourself a lot of time and hassle. I wish this had been available when I was getting into micros over a decade ago.

MPLAB (development IDE with integrated programming software) coupled with the Sourceboost C compiler is my toolchain of choice these days. You can get up and running for free quite easily.

Happy PICing!
