However the information mostly would be generic thus you may readily apply the knowledge to other microcontrollers with a bit of trial and error.  The Microcontroller of my choice for the articles will be PIC16F84A (18 pin DIP). This is a very basic chip produced by Microchip, which is simple to program and use. Most interestingly, this chip is available in Pettah electronic stores, but you should not go and ask for a PIC microcontroller (cuz they say haven’t heard), instead ask for 16F84A. Mostly you will pay for the pin count, rather than the chip. Later, I will try to locate a specific store and mention the name, if I happen to go there.  At the moment, you can download the spec sheet for PIC16F84A (<a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/35007b.pdf" target="_blank">http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/35007b.pdf</a>) . Don’t worry if you cannot figure out anything on the document at this point in time, but you will eventually read it like a pro. First few articles would not require you to have a chip in hand nor the literacy to read the spec sheet. But both will be helpful later.Continued...</blockquote>
