Im developing hardware and software for PIC micro controllers. The PC is running Microchip MPLAB IDE and PicKit 2 software. On the bread board im using a PIC 16F877 microcontroller linked to a 24LC256 EEPROM and a DS1307 real time clock via the I2C bus. I have also a LM35 tempreture sensor. In this photo im testing the PIC''s 10 bit ADC. The input potentiometer is hidden from view but the 10 bit digital output is being displayed on the LED''s to the right. This will form the basis for many new projects.
