Laserbee LPM's use PIC's.
If you have one you can make your own firmware for it, check out Trevor's SDK
Could make for a fun laser related PIC project.
I've used a PIC maybe once, I prefer AVR and ARM.

Another embedded programmer! Yay!
ARM has been my platform of choice for the last couple years, but AVR and PIC are still quite fun to tinker with.

I'm soldering it all together right now. It's so hard! So many small contacts. I think itll be good. If not I'll just order an assembled one.

I have a programmer for several years now but never wrote a software. I can't seem to make a compiler work in my PC so I never had a chance to learn lol I just use it to burn hex files from other projects.

I use MPLAB X and a CanaKit programmer that acts like a PICKit2.
I use the HI-TECH PICC compiler.
What OS are you on?

I'm running win7 on a laptop (thinkpad) The programmer is a kit jobbie connecting via USB. It reads and writes ok for my purposes.
I think I tried to install MPLAB before but didn't manage to get it working (I'm not too technically inclined in PCs ) can't remember though if it was on this or my old laptop which was running XP. Or was it that I didn't know my way around MPLAB haha
