Raj designed a development board for some of the popular PIC16F microcontrollers. It features everything necessary to get them going. The board includes a reset button, crystal oscillator, power supply, and a pin controlled LED.
If you are planning on developing an application using 18-pin PIC16F series microcontroller, this board provides all the basic elements that are required to get you going. I have got 8 PCBs for sale. If anyone is interested, let me know.
No crystal oscillator, but a resonator instead.
Another small bit of advice to Raj,would be to have the 2 male headers at a distance apart which is in integral multiples of 0.1″,so this board can be plugged into a breadboard directly…
Err, like in this pic? :) http://embedded-lab.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/ELPICBOARD18_BB.jpg
