PIC Questions

[Sandy]

Only problem with the micromint is they are expensive. Check out NMIX (I
think) they have a bunch of low cost HC11 boards, I have one that has lots
of good stuff, keyboard ctrl, lcd interface, RS232/422, prototype area,
software. Around 129 buck as I recall. Also check nuts and volts or other
electronic rags, lots of em'.
